                                        Exhibit B


BankAmerica Corporation is the parent of the Bank. The Bank
acquired a warrant in connection with certain loan facilities
extended by the Bank to the issuer in 1988. The warrant, as
amended as of December 31, 1996, permits the Bank to purchase from
the issuer 4,215,753 shares of the issuer's Common Stock at an
aggregate purchase price of $0.237205492 per share, subject to
certain adjustments for changes in the Company's Common Stock and
for dilutive issuances dating back to 1988.  The issuer is
required to repurchase the Warrant over a period of six quarters
beginning August 31, 1997 with cash or by the issuance of Common
Stock with a value equal to the redemption price. The redemption
price for three-eighths of the total Shares which was due on
August 31, 1997, and all future installments is the higher of (i)
$1.1135 per Share, such amount being equal to the difference
between the exercise price and the average market price of the
Common Stock for the 30 trading days following the date which was
15 trading days prior to the date the issuer filed its financial
results for the third quarter of 1996 and the exercise price, or
(ii) the difference between the exercise price and the average
market price of the Common Stock for the 25 trading days preceding
the date which is five trading days prior to the date on which the
redemption is actually paid.  In addition, interest accrues on the
unpaid installments in the form of cash and shares of Common
Stock.  The amount of interest is equal to the sum of (i) $75,000
in cash (or the number of shares which is the result of dividing
$75,000 by the average market price of the Common Stock for the 25
trading days immediately preceding the date which is five trading
days prior to August 31, 1997, or $1.4537 per share), payable
immediately, plus (ii) .0004 of a share of Common Stock per
unredeemed Warrant share per day from the respective installment
date until the redemption is made.  Such interest is paid
quarterly 10 days after the last day of each calendar quarter.
Such interest may be paid in the form of Common Stock only if such
stock is then registered and freely tradable; otherwise, the cash
equivalent must be paid, calculated as the market value of the
stock as of the last day of the calendar quarter.  On April 15,
1998, the issuer split its common stock 4-for-1, resulting in a
decrease in amounts previously reported for the Bank's common
shares and warrants, respectively, from 2,169,730 to 542,433
shares, and from 1,580,908 to 395,227 warrants.

The second installment of shares in the redemption procedure was
received by the Bank on February 9, 1998.

The third installment of shares in the redemption procedure was
received by the Bank on May 6, 1998.  The Bank sold 270,000 shares
in open market transactions on May 19, 1998.

The Bank sold 270,000 shares in an open market transaction on May
19, 1998.  The Bank sold 5,000 shares and 4,000 shares in open
market transactions on, respectively, May 28 and 29, 1998.

On November 4, 1998, the Bank received its fifth and final
installment of shares. This installment consisted of 98,818 shares
which increased common stock holdings to 412,336 shares.  The
warrant position is now zero (-0-).  Also in November, the Bank
sold a total of 62,500 shares in four separate open market
transactions (12,000 Nov. 12th, 37,500 Nov.13th, 10,500 Nov.18th,
and 2,500 Nov. 19th).  The current position as of November 30,
1998 is 349,836 Shares.
