                                     NOTE A


This Form 13G represents ownership of shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer
as follows:

             Reporting Person            256,868 shares         5.5%

In addition, the Reporting Person holds $2,447,538 principal amount of the
Issuer's Convertible Debentures due January 28, 2001. Under their terms, the
Debentures are generally convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer,
where conversions are effected at a conversion rate equal to 70% of the average
of the closing bid price of a share of Common Stock of the Issuer during the 5
trading days prior to the conversion. Such Debentures, however, are not
currently fully convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer by the
Reporting Person, because of a provision in Section 3.2(j) of each of the
Debentures which restricts its right to convert if, the aggregate conversions
would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. Were
such restriction not included in the Debentures, based on current market prices
of such Common Stock at about $.0875 per share, the Reporting Person would be
able to convert the Convertible Debentures into 3,995,980 shares of Common
Stock.

If all of the Debentures were convertible and converted, the Reporting Person's
total shares would then be 4,252,848 and its percentage ownership interest would
then be 49.2%. The exact number of shares which would be issuable to the
Reporting Person upon such conversions can not be specified at this time,
because the actual conversion rate at the time of any given conversion may be
higher or lower.

Reporting Person disclaims any beneficial interest in or voting rights in the
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by any other holder of shares of the
Issuer.

The share amounts and prices in this report take into account the 1:6 reverse
stock split effected by issuer on or about October 1, 1998.

                                     NOTE B

         The previously filed Schedule 13G was filed on behalf of Reporting
Person and Dominion Capital Fund, Limited ("Dominion"), a Bahamas corporation.
In such filing the parties specifically stated that "Each of the Reporting
Person and Dominion disclaims any intent to act in concert with the other; they
may be treated as a Group solely for definitional purposes of this Form 13G and
accordingly are making this joint filing."

         To the extent any such Group existed, the Reporting Person and Dominion
hereby give notice of dissolution of such Group as of a date no later than
February 14, 1999.

         Commencing with the filing of this Amendment by Reporting Person, all
further filings with respect to transactions in the security of Issuer referred
to in such previously filed Schedule 13G will be filed, if required, by each of
Reporting Person and Dominion in their individual capacities.
