(d)-(e)

During the last five years, neither Oaktree, the Principal Fund, nor, to the
best of their knowledge, any of their respective executive officers, directors
and general partners (i) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) has been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as
a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
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 Principal Fund currently holds 800,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
as of the date hereof. The Principal Fund used $6,000,000 of funds obtained from
its working capital for the acquisition of 1,000,000 shares of the Issuer's
Common Stock in August 1998.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The shares of the Issuer's Common Stock described herein were acquired for
investment purposes and for the purposes described below.

On July 16, 1998, the Principal Fund and the Issuer entered into a letter
agreement (the "Letter Agreement"), pursuant to which the Principal Fund made a
standby commitment, subject to certain conditions, to exercise rights to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock, at an
exercise price of $6.00 per share (the "Rights"). Pursuant to the Letter
Agreement, the Issuer also agreed to increase the number of directors on the
Board of Directors of the Issuer so that the Principal Fund may designate one
additional director (reasonably acceptable to the Issuer) to serve on the Board.
The Principal Fund would retain the right to nominate such a designee so long as
the Principal Fund's ownership equals or exceeds 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock that has been distributed by the Issuer to its shareholders. On August 13,
1998, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, as amended, the Principal Fund exercised
the Rights and purchased from the Issuer 1,000,000 shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock, at a purchase price of $6.00 per share.

Oaktree, as the general partner of the Principal Fund, will evaluate the
Issuer's businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and all
other factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock will be acquired by the Principal Fund or by other
accounts and funds of which Oaktree is the general partner and/or investment
manager. The investment strategy of the Principal Fund is generally to invest in
entities in which there is a potential to exercise significant influence over
such entities. Additional shares of Common Stock may be acquired in the open
market or in privately negotiated transactions, or some or all of the shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned by

<PAGE>

                                                               PAGE 6 OF 8 PAGES

Oaktree and the Principal Fund may be sold at any time. Except as otherwise
disclosed herein, Oaktree currently has no agreements, beneficially or
otherwise, which would be related to or would result in any of the matters
described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, as part of its ongoing
review of investment alternatives, Oaktree may consider such matters in the
future and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such
matters, and, from time to time, Oaktree may hold discussions with or make
formal proposals to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other
shareholders of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

(a) As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Principal Fund owns and has sole
power to vote and dispose of 800,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
(approximately 11.69% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
based on 6,842,750 shares of Common Stock outstanding).

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, Oaktree, in its capacity as the general
partner of the Principal Fund, may be deemed to beneficially own 800,000 shares
of the Issuer's Common Stock (approximately 11.69% of the outstanding shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock based on 6,842,750 shares of Common Stock outstanding)
held by the Principal Fund.

(b) Oaktree has discretionary authority and control over all of the assets of
the Principal Fund pursuant to its status as general partner of the Principal
Fund, including the power to vote and dispose of the Issuer's Common Stock.
Therefore, Oaktree has the power to vote and dispose of 800,000 shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock.

(c) On December 22, 2000, the Principal Fund sold 10,000 shares of Common Stock
at $15.625 per share in the open market. On January 10, 2001, the Principal Fund

Common Stock at $16.875 per share in the open market. On January 17, 2001, the
Principal Fund sold 2,500 shares of Common Stock at $16.625 in the open market.

Oaktree and each of the individuals listed in Item 2 disclaims ownership of the
shares of the Issuer's Common Stock reported herein and the filing of this
Statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is the
beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement. Other than the
transactions described above, neither the Principal Fund nor Oaktree and, to the
best of their knowledge, none of their respective executive officers, directors
or general partners has effected any transaction involving the Issuer's Common
Stock during the last 60 days from the date hereof.
