      The net investment cost (including commissions) is
$7,590,504 for the 496,500 shares of Common Stock held by FCP,

      The shares of Common Stock held by FCP, Tinicum and the

accounts.  Such margin accounts are maintained at Goldman, Sachs

business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control
of the Company.  Each may make further purchases of shares of
Common Stock from time to time and may dispose of any or all of
the shares of Common Stock held by it at any time.  None of the
Partnerships nor FCMI has any plans or proposals which relate to,
or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs
(b) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Such
