         a) Brounstein beneficially owns 172,000 shares of Common Stock,
including 72,000 shares underlying convertible securities. Such shares,
including the shares underlying convertible securities owned by Brounstein,
represent 2.2% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition,
Brounstein's son Alexander Brounstein owns 1,000 shares, of the Issuer's Common
Stock. Brounstein does not have any voting or dispositive power and disclaims
any beneficial ownership with respect to such shares, although he may be deemed
to have beneficial ownership of such shares due to the nature of the
relationship of such shareholder to himself, in which case he would still be
deemed to own 2.2% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

         b) Brounstein has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the
172,000 shares of Common Stock and disclaims the right to direct the vote and to
dispose of the 1,000 shares of Common Stock owned by his son Alexander
Brounstein. Alexander Brounstein has sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to the 1,000 shares.
