EXHIBIT A
In view of the Restatement and the consequent delay in the completion
of the Company's 1996 financial statements, the quantative change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year and any
reflection in the earnings statements is not known at this time. However, it
is anticipated that results of operations and earnings in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1996 will be unfavorable when compared to the restated results for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995.
