Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                  MedicineLodge, Inc.
                  -------------------

                  On February 4, 1997,  the  Corporation  and the Issuer entered
into an Asset  Purchase  Agreement  (the  "Agreement"),  pursuant  to which  the
Corporation  agreed to sell to the Issuer, and the Issuer agreed to buy from the
Corporation,  all of the Corporation's properties and assets (except for certain
assets  expressly  excluded  from the  Agreement)  (the  "Asset  Purchase").  In
exchange for such properties and assets,  the Issuer agreed to issue and deliver
1,885,000  shares  of Common  Stock to the  Corporation  and to  assume  certain
liabilities of the Corporation.

                  On June 27, 1997, the Asset Purchase was consummated,  and the
Issuer issued and delivered 1,696,500 shares of Common Stock to the Corporation.
In addition, the Issuer issued 188,500 shares of Common Stock to the Corporation
and  deposited  such shares into escrow.  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement
and a related Escrow  Agreement,  dated June 27, 1997,  between the Corporation,
the Issuer and Brown  Brothers  Harriman & Co. as escrow  agent,  such  escrowed
shares shall be used to indemnify the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement.  The Corporation retains the powers to distribute these shares to its
shareholders and to vote these shares until they are released from escrow to the
Corporation one year from the  consummation of the Asset Purchase.  Accordingly,
the Corporation has beneficial ownership of 1,885,000 shares of Common Stock.

                  system of a registered national securities association;
