            On November 30, 1996, the Registrant sold One Hundred
  percent (100%) of the stock of Landscape Maintenance Services, Inc.
  ("LMS") to the Landscape Companies, Inc. ("LCI"), a private group
  of investors for a combination of cash and notes in the aggregate
  sum of Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000). 
  The purchase price consisted of a long term note of Four Million,
  Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,050,000) amortized for 15 years at 8%
  interest per annum with a balloon payment to be made in 10 years;
  and a short term note of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000)
  due on or before January 15, 1997 without interest.  Both notes are
  secured by the business and assets of LMS.  In addition LCI agreed
  to grant the Registrant, as additional consideration 60,000 shares
  of LCI Common stock (representing approximately 5.2% of LCI's
  Common stock).  
  
            LCI also agreed to enter into a Management Contract with
  the Registrant for the term of the outstanding promissory notes.
