Persons pursue an investment objective that seeks capital appreciation.  In 
pursuing this investment objective, the Reporting Persons analyze the 
operations, capital structure and markets of companies in which they invest, 
including the Company, on a continuous basis through analysis of documentation 
and discussions with knowledgeable industry and market observers and with 
representatives of such companies (often at the invitation of management).

      Each Reporting Person will continuously assess the Company's business, 
financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic 
conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Company's 
securities in particular, other developments and other investment 
opportunities.  Depending on such assessments, one or more of the Reporting 
Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or may determine to 
sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of its holdings of shares of Common 
Stock.  Such actions will depend upon a variety of factors, including, 
without limitation, current and anticipated future trading prices for such 
Common Stock, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of
the Company, alternate investment opportunities, and general economic, 
financial market and industry conditions.  
      None of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate 
to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) 
through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
