Legal Proceedings

On September 26, 2001, Lucent Technologies Inc. ("Lucent") brought action
against the Company, alleging that the Company breached a contract by
failing to purchase Lucent's shares in Freewire Networks, Inc. and claiming
damages of approximately $3.5 million, which may be subject to increase
over time. The Company continues to believe that Lucent's claims are
without merit and will be contested vigorously.

On November 9, 2001, Nokia, Inc. ("Nokia") commenced an action in San
Francisco Superior Court against the Company and Aerzone alleging breach of
contract arising out of the Aerzone's proposed operations in certain
airports. Nokia seeks approximately $2.1 million in damages. The Company
believes that Nokia's claims are without merit and will be contested
vigorously.

The Company is also involved in other legal proceedings and claims, which
arise in the ordinary course of its continuing and discontinued businesses.
The Company believes the results of the above noted legal proceedings,
other pending legal proceedings and claims are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition
or cash flows.
