                            CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Zapata's executive officers participate or have participated in certain stock
option and incentive plans, retirement and profit sharing/401(k) plans sponsored
by Zapata, some of which are intended to qualify for tax-favored treatment under
the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"). These plans include Zapata's
Amended and Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan, the Zapata Pension Plan
("Pension Plan"), the Zapata Supplemental Pension Benefit Plan and the Zapata
Corporation 401(k) Plan.

The Amended and Restated 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "1996 LTIP") was
approved by the stockholders on December 5, 1996. The 1996 LTIP provides for the
granting of nonqualified stock options to key employees of the Company. Under
the 1996 LTIP, options may be granted by the Committee at prices equivalent to
the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options become
exercisable in one or more installments on such dates as the Committee may
determine. Unexercised options will expire on varying dates up to a maximum of
ten years from the date of grant. During 1999, the stockholders amended and
restated the 1996 LTIP to increase the number of shares available for options
granted under the plan from 500,000 to 1,000,000 shares. At December 31, 2003,
stock options covering a total of 104,566 shares had been exercised and a total
of 738,550 shares of common stock are available for future stock options or
other awards under the 1996 LTIP. As of December 31, 2003 there were options for
the purchase of up to 156,884 shares outstanding under the 1996 LTIP.

Zapata maintains a pension plan that is a non-contributory qualified defined
benefit pension plan and is intended to qualify under Internal Revenue Code
Section 401(a). All employees of Zapata are eligible. Highly compensated
employees (generally, employees who own more than 5% of the stock of Zapata and
employees earning in excess of $85,000) became eligible to participate on
January 1, 2002. Based on the January 1, 2002 plan amendment, highly compensated
employees were credited with up to 5 years of prior service. An employee becomes
a participant upon



completion of one-year of service (1,000 hours in a computation period) or
attainment of age 21, whichever is later. Retirement benefits under the pension
plan are based on an employee's length of employment, average monthly
compensation and social security covered compensation. Compensation for this
purpose includes salary and other compensation paid by Zapata and reportable on
Form W-2, but excludes fringe benefits (cash and non-cash), including
compensation related to stock option plans which is reported in the above
Summary Compensation Table. The Code limits the amount of compensation that may
be considered ($200,000 for 2003) and the annual benefits which may be payable
from the pension plan. Pension plan participants are 100% vested in accrued
benefits after five years of vesting service.

The following table shows the estimated annual benefit payable to employees on
retirement under Zapata's pension plan to employees in the specified
compensation and years of service classification. The retirement benefits shown
are based upon an employee retiring at age 65 in 2003 who elect to receive
benefits in the form of a single life annuity (although a participant can select
other methods of calculating benefits). The amounts shown are based on current
average social security wage base amounts and are not subject to any deduction
for social security or other offset amounts.

(*)      Internal Revenue Code limits covered compensation to $200,000 for 2003.

As a result of the January 2002 amendment to the pension plan, Zapata's Named
Officers who are currently employed by the Company are now eligible to
participate under the Pension Plan. The compensation covered by the pension plan
includes the annual salaries and bonus of Messrs. Avram Glazer and Leonard
DiSalvo, but no other amounts shown in the above Summary Compensation table.
Estimated credited years of service for Mr. Glazer is 7 years, and for Mr.
DiSalvo is 5 years. Amounts shown in the pension plan table are subject to
deductions to for social security.

The Zapata Supplemental Pension Plan was adopted effective April 1, 1992. This
plan provides supplemental retirement payments to certain former senior
executives of Zapata. The amounts of such payments equal the difference between
the amounts received under the applicable pension plan and the amounts that
would otherwise be received if pension plan payments were not reduced as the
result of the limitations upon compensation and benefits imposed by federal law.
Effective December 1994, the supplemental pension plan was frozen, except with
respect to benefits already accrued.

The Zapata 401(k) Plan is qualified under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the
Code. Under the Plan, 3 types of contributions are authorized: (1) employee
pre-tax, salary reduction contributions ("elective deferrals"); (2) matching
employer contributions for participants who make elective deferrals to the Plan
; and (3) discretionary employer contributions, based on cash flow,
profitability and other financial circumstances as Zapata determines to be
relevant. The matching contribution formula is 100% on elective deferrals up to
3% of compensation for the year and 50% of all deferral contributions of more
than 3%; elective deferrals exceeding 5% of compensation for the year are not
matched. All employees are eligible for participation in the elective deferral
and matching contribution



features of the plan upon attainment of age 21 or completion of 3 months of
service, whichever is later. For the purposes of employer discretionary
contributions, an employee enters the plan after completing 1 year of service or
attaining age 21, whichever is later. Matching contributions are fully vested
while discretionary employer contributions, if any, vest 20% for each year of
vesting service.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table indicates the number of shares of Common Stock owned
beneficially as of March 31, 2004 by

         -        each person known to the Company to beneficially own more than
                  5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,

         -        each director,

         -        the Named Officers, and

         -        all directors and executive officers as a group.

Except to the extent indicated in the footnotes to the following table, each of
the persons or entities listed therein has sole voting and investment power with
respect to the shares which are reported as beneficially owned by such person or
entity. The Company does not know of any arrangements, including any pledge by
any person of securities of the Company, the operation of which may at a
subsequent date result in a change of control of the Company.

The following calculations are based upon the shares of each subsidiary's common
stock issued and outstanding on March 31, 2004 plus the number of such shares of
common stock outstanding pursuant to SEC Rule 13d-3(d))1. Shares of the
subsidiary's common stock subject to options exercisable within 60 days of March
31, 2004 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of the
person holding such option but are not deemed outstanding for computing the
percentage of any other person.

the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also
pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
