Explanation of Responses:
(1) Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 16, 1998 (the
"Merger Agreement"), by and among the Reporting Person ("Carlton"), Neptune
Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person
("Purchaser"), and the Issuer, Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the "Offer")
for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. On July 27, 1998,
following the expiration of the Offer, Purchaser acquired 20,598,948 shares of
Common Stock, constituting approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Offer. Thereafter, on the same date, Purchaser was merged
with and into the Issuer (the "Merger") pursuant to Section 253 of the Delaware
General Corporation Law. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate
existence of Purchaser ceased and the Issuer became an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Carlton. Thereafter, the Issuer filed a Certification and Notice
of Termination of Registration on Form 15.
