                 Except as set forth above, GAMI does not have any present
                 plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of
                 the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of
                 Item 4. of Schedule 13d.

         Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                 12,546,807 shares of Common Stock outstanding.(1)  As of the
                 date hereof, assuming the conversion of the 933,333 shares of
                 Preferred Stock for 933,333 shares of Common Stock and the
                 exercise of the 933,333 Warrants for 933,333 shares of Common

                 owner of approximately 13.0% of the shares of Common Stock
                 outstanding (assuming the conversion of GAMI's Preferred Stock
                 and the exercise of GAMI's Warrants).  GAMI has the sole power
                 to vote or to direct the vote of the Preferred Stock
                 beneficially owned by it.  GAMI would have the sole power to

                 of the Warrants owned by it) and has the sole power to dispose
                 or to direct the disposition of the Preferred Stock and the
                 Warrants beneficially owned by it.
                 
                 Sheli Z. Rosenberg, a director of GAMI, is a non-controlling
                 general partner of an Illinois general partnership (a
                 "Partnership") which beneficially owns 135,000 shares of
                 Common Stock.  Mrs. Rosenberg has shared power to vote or to
                 direct the vote of the 135,000 shares of Common Stock and
                 shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the
                 135,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the Partnership.

                 Samuel Zell, an executive officer and director of GAMI, is a
                 beneficiary or co-beneficiary of trusts which are general
                 partners of the Partnership.  Mr. Zell has no power to vote or
                 to direct the vote and no power to dispose or to direct the
                 disposition of the Common Stock beneficially owned by the
                 Partnership.

                 (c)  During the last sixty days, GAMI acquired the following
                 securities of the Issuer:
