(c) During the 60 days preceding the filing of this report, the

plan (the "1996 Stock Plan") and the Company's 1997 stock
- 5 -
plan (the "1997 Stock Plan"), thereby authorizing the issuance of options to Mr.
Madden to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 1996 Stock Plan
at an exercise price of $4.81 per share and options to purchase an additional
500,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the 1997 Stock Plan at an exercise
price of $3.31 per share and the sale of 200,000 shares of Common Stock at
prices ranging from $7.00 to $7.64, during the period from October 15, 1997
through October 22, 1997.
(d) On December 2, 1993, Jordan Belfort, Daniel Porush and
Kenneth Greene, who were principal stockholders of Stratton Oakmont, entered
into a Stock Purchase Agreement with BOCAP Corp. ("BOCAP"), a Florida
corporation beneficially owned by Steven Madden pursuant to which BOCAP
purchased an aggregate of 1,284,816 shares (the "Shares") of Common Stock from
Messrs. Belfort, Porush and Greene. As consideration for such Shares, BOCAP
delivered to each of Messrs. Belfort, Porush and Greene a promissory note (each
a "Note") in the principal amount of $3,237,737, $1,387,601 and $513,926,
respectively, On June 3, 1997, Belfort commenced a lawsuit in the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, Nassau County, against BOCAP, the Company, Steven
Madden and Farmstead Consulting, Inc. ("Farmstead"), a New York corporation and
the escrow agent under a purported security and escrow agreement, pursuant to
which Belfort alleges that BOCAP pledged the Shares to secure its obligations
under Belfort's note, as amended, which note was extended to December 2, 1996.
In his complaint, Belfort alleges that Belfort's note from BOCAP is in
default and that Belfort is entitled to require the escrow agent to register and
sell the Shares in order to pay the amounts due under the note, alleged to be at
least $4,135,395. Moreover, in September 1997, Belfort filed a motion requesting
that the court require BOCAP and the Company to transfer 899,371 of the shares
to Belfort, and to register said Shares in Belfort's name, pursuant to a
purported agreement between Belfort and Farmstead. BOCAP has advised the Company
that it disputes all of Belfort's claims, including his claims to possess a
security or ownership interest in any of the Shares, and contends that Belfort's
note was consensually extended to December 2, 1997. BOCAP has further advised
the Company that, in an effort to clarify its title to the 899,371 Shares that
Belfort claims to have purchased from Farmstead, it has offered to pay Belfort
the amounts properly due under his 1993 note. Pending determination of the
parties' rights or a voluntary resolution of this dispute, the Company has
opposed Belfort's motion and has advised Belfort that it does not recognize his
claim to ownership of, or the right to vote, the 899,371 Shares in question.
Moreover, the Company has advised Belfort that his Form 13-D, dated September 9,
1997, as amended, is inaccurate insofar as it states that Belfort owns and has
the right to vote the 899,371 Shares in question.
(e) Not applicable.
