                        Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data

The following tables present summary historical information for the Company
and Ride derived from financial statements.  The Company's merger with Ride
is accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their fair market
values as of the date of the acquisition, which do not differ significantly
from historical costs.  The excess of the purchase price over the fair value
of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of September 30,
1999 gives effect to the merger of the Company and Ride as of that date.  As
a result, it reflects the issuance of the Company shares of common stock in
exchange for shares of Ride common stock as discussed in the merger
agreement.  The unaudited pro forma combined condensed income statement for
the nine months ended September 30, 1999 presents the results for the Company
and Ride as if the merger has occurred on January 1, 1999 and reflects the
issuance of shares of Company common stock in exchange for shares of Ride
common stock as discussed in the merger agreement.

This unaudited pro forma financial information presented is based on the
assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes.  The
unaudited pro forma statement of operations does not purport to represent
what the Company's results of operations actually would have been if the
events described above had occurred as of the dates indicated or what such
results would be for any future periods.  In addition, the unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial information does not reflect certain cost
savings potentially realizable through combining the operations of the
companies and implementing the Company's management practices.
