      CRM                                     $ 6,379,676.00
      CRM Management                            3,922,129.50
      CRM Advisors                              1,570,875.00

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

      On November 10, 1997, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
      had accepted the resignation of William D. Farrell from his positions as
      President and Chief Operating Officer and a Director of the Company and
      the resignation of Gary I. Fields from his positions as Senior Vice
      President and General Counsel of the Company. In addition, the Company
      stated that its Board of Directors had removed John P. O'Malley from his
      positions as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the
      Company for allegedly failing to fulfill certain of his functions as Chief
      Financial Officer. The letter of resignation of Mr. Farrell alleges that
      the resignations and removal

                                  Page 6 of 11
<PAGE>

      occurred after members of senior management of the Company raised investor
      concerns regarding, among other things, related-party transactions
      involving certain members of the Company's Board of Directors.

      As a result of these distressing events, each of the Reporting Persons is
      examining all of its options with respect to the possibility of taking
      actions which it believes will enhance shareholder value. Such actions
      could include bringing or participating in a shareholder derivative
      action, encouraging, participating in or leading a proxy contest to change
