Item 4.
Hambrecht & Quist Capital Management Incorporated ("HQCM") disclaims any
beneficial interest in the shares reported in this Schedule 13G. Moreover,
HQCM is of the view that the client accounts that it manages are not acting
as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and that it and such clients are not
otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of
securities "beneficially owned" under Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934
Act. Therefore, HQCM is of the view that the shares held in such accounts
should not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, HQCM is
making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all the shares are
beneficially owned by HQCM on a joint basis.
