best knowledge of Holnest, any persons identified above, has been (i) convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors)

subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with
respect to such laws.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         The ADSs purchased by Holnest were purchased using funds provided by
Mr. Minos Kyriakou to Holnest from Mr. Kyriakou's personal funds. The total cost
of the purchases was approximately $648,750.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         Holnest purchased the ADSs for investment purposes because it believes
that the current price of the ADSs in the market represents a good investment.
Holnest intends to review its investment in the ADSs on a continuing basis in
light of numerous factors, including, without limitation, the availability of
securities of the Issuer for purchase and the prices therefor; general market
and economic conditions; and on-going analysis of the Issuer's business
financial condition and prospects. From time to time, Holnest may acquire
additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of some or all of its holdings in
the Issuer depending upon the factors discussed above.

         Except as set forth above, neither Holnest nor, to the best knowledge

         (a) As of August 10, 1999, Holnest owns beneficially 4,222,360 Shares
(30,000 of which are underlying ADSs), representing 21.3% of the Shares. Because
Mr. Minos Kyriakou owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Holnest and is a
director and executive officer of Holnest, he may be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of such Shares.

         (b) Mr. Minos Kyriakou has the sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Shares held by Holnest.

         (c) Holnest acquired 20,000 ADSs in open market transactions on each of
August 6, 9 and 10, 1999 for purchase prices of $11.125, $11.00 and $10.3125 per
ADS, respectively. Mr. Kyriakou has not acquired any ADSs or any Shares in the
