      The net investment  cost  (including  commissions)  is $10,508,055 for the
222,600  Shares held by FCP,  $10,469,432  for the 222,500  Shares held by FCIP,
$1,582,643  for the 33,600  Shares  held by FCIP II,  $2,028,095  for the 42,900

respect to FCIP, FCIP II and FCIP III, from working  capital;  (ii) with respect
to the Managed Accounts, from the working capital of each Managed Account and/or
from borrowings  pursuant to margin  accounts  maintained by some of the Managed

balances. It is not possible to determine the amount of borrowings, if any, used
to acquire the Shares.  

Item 4. Purpose of the  Transaction.

      The purpose of the  acquisition of the Shares is for  investment,  and the
acquisitions of the Shares by each of the  Partnerships and the Managed Accounts
were made in the  ordinary  course of business and were not made for the purpose
of acquiring control of the Company.

      Although no Reporting  Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire
or dispose of Shares,  consistent  with its investment  purpose,  each Reporting
Person  at any time  and from  time to time may  acquire  additional  Shares  or
dispose of any or all of its Shares depending upon an ongoing  evaluation of the
investment  in  the  Shares,  prevailing  market  conditions,  other  investment
opportunities,  liquidity  requirements  of the  Reporting  Person  and/or other
investment  considerations.   No  Reporting  Person  has  made  a  determination
regarding a maximum or minimum  number of Shares  which it may hold at any point
in time.

      Also,  consistent with their investment  intent, the Reporting Persons may
engage in communications  with one or more  shareholders of the Company,  one or
more  officers of the

                               Page 22 of 43 Pages
<PAGE>


Company,  one or more members of the board of  directors  of the Company  and/or
potential  investors in the Company  regarding  the Company,  including  but not
limited to its operations.

      Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal,  none
of the  Reporting  Persons has any plans or proposals  which relate to, or could
result in,  any of the  matters  referred  to in  paragraphs  (a)  through  (j),
inclusive,  of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons
may,  at any time and from time to time,  review or  reconsider  their  position
and/or change their purpose  and/or  formulate  plans or proposals  with respect
thereto.
