ATTACHMENT A
EXPLANATION TO PART IV(3)
Net loss increased $3.5 million to $6.0 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same nine month period in the prior
year. Net loss increased $1.7 million to $1.8 in the three months ended
September 30, 2000 compared to the same three month period in the prior year.
These increases were primarily attributable to the increase in cost of goods
sold, general and administrative expenses and interest expense in the nine-month
and three-month periods ended September 30, 2000.
