During the period from January 1999 through April 2000, Mr. Goldsmith
acquired an aggregate of 338,000 shares of Common Stock as listed above and
disposed of an aggregate of 186,149 shares of Common Stock, including 72,728

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
As of the close of business on the date of this Statement, Mr. Goldsmith
may be deemed, pursuant to Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules and regulations
thereunder, to own beneficially 2,225,275 shares of Common Stock, including
shares of Common Stock which may be acquired by Mr. Goldsmith within 60 days as
follows: 341,912 shares through the exercise of stock options and 744,930
shares through the exercise of stock purchase warrants. Such shares constitute
9.61% of the 23,162,270 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such date,
calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. The shares
beneficially owned also include 1,250 shares of Common Stock held by Mr.
Goldsmith's spouse as to which Mr. Goldsmith may be deemed to have shared voting
and investment power but disclaims beneficial ownership. In addition, the
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned also include 13,000 shares of Common
Stock held by the Balfour Defined Benefits Pension Plan (the "Plan"), of which
Mr. Goldsmith is a Trustee and Plan Administrator and in which Mr. Goldsmith is
a participant. Mr. Goldsmith has shared voting and investment power over the
13,000 shares of Common Stock, but disclaims beneficial ownership of 7,280
shares of Common Stock held by the Plan (based on Mr. Goldsmith's proportionate
interest in the Plan of approximately 44% as of December 31, 1998). In
addition, the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned include 273,625 shares
that may be deemed to be owned beneficially by Mr. Goldsmith which are held by
Balfour Investors Incorporated ("Balfour") for its clients in discretionary
accounts, as to which Mr. Goldsmith disclaims beneficial ownership. Messrs.
Goldsmith and Harry I. Freund are President and Chairman, respectively, and
the only shareholders of Balfour. The discretionary clients of Balfour have the
sole power to vote and direct the vote of the shares held in their account.
Balfour and its discretionary clients have shared power to dispose of or direct
the disposition of the shares held in such clients' accounts. At present,
Balfour has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Company's Common Stock
for all of its discretionary clients.
See Item 3 above for a description of any transactions in Common Stock
that were effected since November 1, 1998.
Except as to the shares of the Company's Common Stock held by his spouse,
as Trustee and Plan Administrator of the Plan and by Balfour for its
discretionary clients, Mr. Goldsmith has the sole power to vote and dispose of
the shares of the Company's Common Stock owned beneficially by him.
