ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) Neither Gold & Appel nor Mr. Anderson beneficially own any
Common Shares of the Issuer.
Mr. Anderson is the President and a Director of
the Foundation for the International Non-Governmental
Development of Space, a non-profit organization ("FINDS"),
which owns 15,400 Common Shares. Mr. Anderson does not have
any pecuniary interest in FINDS, nor does he have the power
to control the voting or disposition of the Common Shares
held by FINDS, and thus he disclaims beneficial ownership of
the Common Shares held by FINDS.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) Since the filing of Amendment No. 3, Gold & Appel and Mr.
Anderson sold such Common Shares as reported in Item 3
above and between March 27, 2000 and June 28, 2000, FINDS
sold 13,000 shares on the NASDAQ National Market as follows:
Date of Number of Sale Price
Sale Shares Per Share
03/27/00 2,000 $27.0000
03/28/00 2,000 26.6563
06/28/00 9,000 11.0000
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
