                  This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed by the
Reporting Persons (as defined below) solely to report a restructuring of Soros
Fund Management, a sole proprietorship ("SFM") and certain related matters,

defined herein) dated May 23, 1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated
