                                     NOTE A

This Schedule 13D represents ownership by the Reporting Person and other members
of the "group" as described  below of an  aggregate of 856,687  shares of common
stock of the Issuer (7.74%). L. Thomas Baldwin III is a non-voting, non-managing
member of Rosenthal Collins Group, L.L.C., an Illinois limited liability company
("RCG").  RCG is registered with the Commodity  Futures Trading  Commission as a
futures  commission  merchant  and is a clearing  member of all major  principal
futures  exchanges in the United States and elsewhere.  As such, RCG is required
to meet and maintain  significant  levels of adjusted net capital to comply with
CFTC and exchange clearing requirements. As of June 30, 2000, RCG's adjusted net
capital  (unaudited)  was  $34,382,657.  Reference  is hereby made to the public
portions  of RCG's  Forms  1-FR as  filed  with the  Commodity  Futures  Trading
Commission,  which  forms  are  publicly  available  under  FOIA for a  complete
statement of the financial condition of RCG.

On June 21,  2000,  L. Thomas  Baldwin III and the L. Thomas  Baldwin III Living
Trust (Mr.  Baldwin is a Class C  non-voting  and  non-managing  Member of RCG),
deposited  shares of the Issuer with RCG as part of his capital  account at RCG.
Such shares,  after appropriate  haircuts,  are held and maintained by RCG (in a
custody  account  for its  benefit at the  Harris  Trust & Savings  Bank,  N.A.,
Chicago,  Illinois)  and is  deemed  capital  of RCG  for  regulatory  purposes.
Accordingly,  RCG has full legal  control over such shares.  Mr.  Baldwin  could
always direct RCG to sell the shares,  which  accommodation RCG would be willing
to accommodate  subject, of course, to all the various capital requirements with
which RCG must comply.  Moreover,  as an accommodation,  RCG would be willing to
defer to Mr.  Baldwin with respect to the voting of such shares.  Hence,  RCG in
Item 5.b has  listed  the  shares  deposited  with it as owned by it, and it has
listed voting and dispositive power as shared with Mr. Baldwin.

Rosenthal  Collins  Equities,  L.L.C.  ("RCE") is an Illinois limited  liability
company  registered  as a  broker/dealer  which is a member  firm of the Chicago
Board Options Exchange, its designated examining authority. RCE has no customers
and trades on a proprietary basis only. RCE is wholly-owned by Rosenthal Collins
Group,  L.L.C.  The shares of the Issuer  purchased by RCE, as disclosed in Item
6.c above,  were purchased by RCE at the request and as an  accommodation  to L.
Thomas Baldwin III. As a result,  RCE is the record and beneficial owner of such
shares.  Mr.  Baldwin  could  always  direct  RCE  to  sell  the  shares,  which
accommodation  RCE would be willing to accommodate,  subject,  of course, to the
capital requirements with which RCE must comply.  Moreover, as an accommodation,
RCE would be willing to defer to Mr.  Baldwin with respect to the voting of such
shares. Hence, Item 5.b lists shared voting and dispositive power for all shares
of the Issuer owned by RCE as shared with Mr. Baldwin.

In addition, Mr. L. Thomas Baldwin III, individually,  purchased 9,400 shares of
the Issuer  more than 60 days prior to the event which  requires  filing of this

conversion  price.  On August 8, 2000,  Mr. Baldwin sent notice to the Issuer of
his election to convert the Debenture into 63,685 shares,  at a conversion price
of $7.85 per share. Mr. Baldwin,  of course,  has and will have sole dispositive
and voting power over such shares.

While the shares of the  Issuer  held by RCG and RCE are owned of record and are
under the  total  legal  control  of those  entities,  RCG and RCE,  solely  for
purposes  of the  shares  of the  Issuer  and not  otherwise,  should  be deemed
affiliates of L. Thomas  Baldwin III and Mr.  Baldwin  should be deemed de facto
beneficial  owner of all such shares,  notwithstanding  that all such shares are
subject to the risks and  requirements,  regulatory and market,  of RCG and RCE,
respectively.
