has previously been reported on the original Schedule 13D to this Amendment No.
1) of the common stock, par value $.0001 ("Common Stock") of Infinity, Inc.
("Issuer"), a Colorado corporation. This Amendment No. 1 is being filed on

(a) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, GBI
beneficially owns 647,390 shares of Common Stock, including 600,000 shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants issued to GBI exercisable at
$0.875 per share until July 31, 2001 ("Private Warrants"), or approximately 5.8%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on 11,113,023 shares of Common
Stock outstanding, consisting of 10,513,023 shares outstanding as of October 27,
1997, as confirmed to the Reporting Person by the Issuer, together with 600,000
shares of Common Stock which would be outstanding upon exercise of the currently
