            ----------

            (a)  Amount Beneficially Owned: Each of the Reporting Persons
                 may be deemed to own beneficially 3,844,355 shares of

                 BPAM owns of record 3,842,330 shares of Common Stock.
                 BPAM owns a record 2,025 Warrants to purchase shares of
                 Common Stock (the "Warrants") of the Issuer. Upon
                 exercise of the presently exercisable Warrants, BPAM may
                 acquire 2,025 shares of Common Stock, and BPAM may be
                 deemed to own beneficially 2,025 shares of Common Stock

                 beneficially all of the Common Stock that Boston
                 Partners may be deemed to own beneficially. Therefore,
                 each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to own
                 beneficially 3,844,355 shares of Common Stock of the
                 Issuer.

                 outstanding in the Form 10Q for the quarter ended
                 September 30, 1997.

                 (i)    sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 0

                        Reporting Persons.

                 Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, each of Boston Partners and Mr.
