                              The Reporting Persons

SFM LLC, Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller
- ----------------------------------------

               In  connection  with the  restructuring  of the  business of SFM,
which will now be  conducted  through SFM LLC,  Mr.  Soros has  entered  into an
agreement  dated as of January 1, 1997 with SFM LLC  pursuant to which Mr. Soros
has, among other things, agreed to use his best efforts to cause QIH Management,
as the  general  partner of QIHMI,  to act at the  direction  of SFM LLC,  which
agreement to so act shall  terminate  upon the earlier of (a) the  assignment to
SFM LLC of the legal and beneficial ownership interest in QIH Management and (b)
the assignment to SFM LLC of the general partnership interest in QIHMI (the "QIP
Contract").

               The business of SFM LLC is managed through a Management Committee
(the "Management  Committee")  comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller and Mr.
Gary Gladstein.  SFM LLC has its principal  office at 888 Seventh  Avenue,  33rd
Floor, New York, New York 10106. Its principal business is to serve, pursuant to
contract,  as the principal  investment  manager to several  foreign  investment
companies  (the "SFM  Clients").  Mr.  Soros,  as Chairman  of SFM LLC,  has the
ability to direct the investment  decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed
to have  investment  discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the
SFM Clients.  Mr.  Druckenmiller,  as Lead Portfolio Manager of SFM LLC, has the
ability to direct the investment  decisions of SFM LLC and as such may be deemed
to have  investment  discretion over the securities held for the accounts of the
SFM  Clients.  Set forth in Annex A hereto  and  incorporated  by  reference  in
response to this Item 2 and  elsewhere in this  Schedule 13D as  applicable is a
list of the Managing Directors of SFM LLC.

               The principal  occupation of Mr. Soros, a United States  citizen,
is his  direction  of the  activities  of SFM LLC,  which is carried  out in his
capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC at SFM LLC's principal office.

               The principal  occupation of Mr.  Druckenmiller,  a United States
citizen,  is  his  position  as  Lead  Portfolio  Manager  and a  Member  of the
Management  Committee  of SFM LLC,  which is carried out at SFM LLC's  principal
office.

               Pursuant to  regulations  promulgated  under Section 13(d) of the
Act, SFM LLC, pursuant to the provisions of the QIP Contract,  Mr. Soros, in his
capacity as Chairman of SFM LLC, and Mr. Druckenmiller,  in his capacity as Lead
Portfolio  Manager  of SFM  LLC,  each  may be  deemed  a  beneficial  owner  of
securities, including the Shares, held for the account of QIP.

               During the past five years,  except as  disclosed  in the Initial
Statement,  none of the  Reporting  Persons  and,  to the best of the  Reporting
Persons'  knowledge,  any other person identified in response to this Item 2 has
been  (a)  convicted  in a  criminal  proceeding,  or (b) a party  to any  civil
proceeding  as a result of which he has been  subject to a  judgment,  decree or
final  order  enjoining  future  violations  of,  or  prohibiting  or  mandating

activities  subject  to,  federal  or state  securities  laws,  or  finding  any
violation with respect to such laws.


Item 3.        Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

               On March 15, 1996, Phoenix Partners and the Issuer entered into a
letter  agreement  (the  "March  1996  Letter  Agreement"),  a copy of which was
attached as Exhibit AF to Amendment No. 8 to the Initial Statement and the terms
of which are more fully described in Item 4 thereto.  Pursuant to the March 1996
Letter  Agreement,  Phoenix  Partners,  among other things,  purchased  from the
Issuer a Tranche E Note in the principal amount of $2,100,000, using the working
capital or  personal  funds of its  partners.  Concurrently  therewith,  Phoenix
Partners  converted  the Tranche E Note into  1,400,000  Shares at a  conversion
price of $1.50 per Share.  Subsequently,  the conversion  price of the Tranche E
Note  decreased  such that, for no additional  consideration,  Phoenix  Partners
received  325,000  additional  Shares  pursuant  to the terms of the March  1996
Letter Agreement.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction.

               As of March 15, 1996,  Phoenix  Partners  and the Issuer  entered
into the  March  1996  Letter  Agreement.  Pursuant  to the  March  1996  Letter
Agreement,  Phoenix Partners  purchased a Tranche E Note in the principal amount
of $2,100,000 and converted such Tranche E Note into 1,400,000 Shares. A copy of
the form of the Tranche E Note is attached as Exhibit AG to  Amendment  No. 8 to
the Initial Statement. The Tranche E Note was converted into 1,400,000 Shares at
a conversion price of $1.50 per Share.  However,  the Issuer agreed that, should
it fail to meet a number  of goals by the time  frames  specified  for each goal
listed in the  March  1996  Letter  Agreement,  the  conversion  price  would be
adjusted  so that the  conversion  will have been  deemed to have  occurred at a
lower price, with an absolute minimum  conversion price of $1.00 per Share. Upon
any deemed change in the  conversion  price in the Tranche E Note  purchased and
converted  on March  15,  1996,  the  Issuer  would  issue to  Phoenix  Partners
certificates representing such additional Shares. Subsequently, Phoenix Partners
and the Issuer  agreed that certain of the goals had not been met in full within
their  specified time frame;  therefore,  on December 30, 1996 the Issuer issued
325,000 additional Shares as a result of the decrease in the conversion price.

               All of the Shares  reported herein as having been acquired for or
disposed of from the account of Phoenix  Partners  were  acquired or disposed of
for investment purposes. Neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of their
knowledge,  any of the other  individuals  identified in response to Item 2, has
any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions
described  in  subparagraphs  (a)  through (j) of Item 4 of  Schedule  13D.  The
Reporting  Persons  reserve  the  right to  acquire,  or  cause to be  acquired,
additional  securities  of the Issuer,  to dispose of, or cause to be  disposed,
such securities at any time or to formulate  other purposes,  plans or proposals
regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, to the extent deemed advisable in
light of general investment and trading policies of the Reporting Persons and/or
SFM Clients, market conditions or other factors.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

               (a) Each of the  Reporting  Persons  may be  deemed a  beneficial
owner of 39,269,999 Shares  (approximately  56.10% of the total number of Shares
which  would be  outstanding  assuming  the  exercise or  conversion  by Phoenix
Partners  of all of the  convertible  securities  that it  holds).  This  number
consists of the following  securities held for the account of Phoenix  Partners:
(i) 15,984,999 Shares held by Phoenix  Partners,  (ii) 4,000,000 Shares issuable
to  Phoenix  Partners  upon  exercise  of  the  4,000,000   warrants   presently
exercisable by Phoenix Partners pursuant to the terms of the Warrant  Agreement,
(iii) the 2,500,000 Shares issuable to Phoenix Partners pursuant to the terms of
the Second Warrant Agreement,  (iv) 600,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of the
600,000  warrants issued to Phoenix Partners  pursuant to the Second  Conversion
Warrants,  (v) 345,000  Shares  issuable upon exercise of the warrant  issued to
Phoenix Partners pursuant to the February Warrant Agreement, (vi) 140,000 Shares
issuable upon  conversion of 140,000  warrants issued pursuant to the Additional
Warrant  Agreement,  (vii) 700,000 Shares  issuable upon conversion of the Early
Purchase  Warrant,  and (viii) 15,000,000 Shares issuable upon conversion of the
Series C Shares.

               (c) Except as disclosed in Item 2 hereof,  which is  incorporated
by reference in this Item 5, there have been no transactions with respect to the
Shares since the date of the last filing by any of the Reporting Persons.


Item 6.        Contracts,  Arrangements,  Understandings  in  Relationship  with
               Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

               From time to time, each of the Reporting Persons and/or other SFM
Clients  may lend  portfolio  securities  to brokers,  banks or other  financial
institutions.  These  loans  typically  obligate  the  borrower  to  return  the
securities,  or an equal amount of securities  of the same class,  to the lender
and  typically  provide that the borrower is entitled to exercise  voting rights
and to retain  dividends  during the term of the loan.  From time to time to the
extent permitted by applicable laws, each of the Reporting  Persons and/or other
SFM  Clients may borrow  securities,  including  the Shares,  for the purpose of
effecting, and may effect, short sale transactions,  and may purchase securities
for the purpose of closing out short position in such securities.

               Except as disclosed above, the Reporting  Persons and SFM Clients
do not have any contracts,  arrangements,  understandings or relationships  with
respect to any securities of the Issuer.
