and  office  for the  Limited  Partnership  and the  General  Partner as well as
information  required  by (a)  through  (f) of this  Item  as to each  executive

     The Reporting Persons have acquired the Shares for investment  purposes and

     Each of the Reporting Persons may independently  acquire  additional Shares

     The  Reporting  Persons  expect  to  evaluate  on an  ongoing  basis  their
investment  in the  Issuer,  and may  independently  from  time to time  acquire

     (a), (b) Schedule 3 hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein, sets
forth,  as of July 19, 2000,  information  relating to the  aggregate  number of

as of such date  (based  upon  information  provided  by the  Issuer,  there are
2,602,306  Shares  outstanding  as of that  date)  as to  each of the  Reporting

control  over the  Limited  Partnership,  all  decisions  regarding  voting  and

by the General Partner acting through its chief executive  officer or president.
As such,  the Limited  Partnership  and the  General  Partner  share  voting and
