     The unaudited proforma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Registrant
as of June 30, 1997 reflects the financial position of Registrant after giving
effect to the disposition of substantially all of the assets and liabilities,
acquired or assumed, of the Company and assumes the disposition took place on
June 30, 1997. The unaudited proforma condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 and six months ended June 30,
1997 assumes that the disposition occurred on January 1, 1996, and are based on
the operations of the Registrant for the year ended December 31, 1996 and six
months ended June 30, 1997. Such unaudited proforma condensed consolidated
financial statements also reflect the use of proceeds to reduce the existing
senior bank credit facility, accrued interest, transaction costs and other
accounts payable.

been prepared by Registrant based upon assumptions deemed proper by it. The
unaudited proforma condensed consolidated financial statements presented here
