                 The Reporting Person acquired beneficial ownership of the
shares of the Common Stock described in Item 3 to which this Statement on
Schedule 13D relates pursuant to the Merger and the distribution of shares of
the Common Stock of the Company contemplated thereby.

                 (a)      The Reporting Person beneficially owned, in the
aggregate, 449,121 shares of the Common Stock outstanding, representing 6.81%

forth in the cover pages and such information is incorporated herein by this

Dasti and O'Malley.

                 (c)      There have been no reportable transactions with
respect to the Common Stock within the last 60 days by the Reporting Person
