 Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

           The purpose of the purchases by the reporting persons has been to

           Partners, PSCO Partners Two, PSCO Fund Limited and Capital may
           purchase additional shares of Citation, from time to time, depending
           upon price, market conditions, availability of funds, evaluation of
           alternative investments and other factors.  Although none of these
           persons has a present intention to sell the shares anticipated to be
           acquired, one or all of them might determine to sell some or all of
           such shares based upon need for funds, price, and similar factors.

           Each filing party disclaims membership with any other filing party
           in a "group", as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the
           Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated
           thereunder.  PSCO Partners owns its shares of Citation separately
           from PSCO Partners Two and PSCO Fund Limited, and PSCO Partners Two
           and PSCO Fund Limited own their respective shares of Citation
           separately from each other.  Although they have a common investment
           advisor, from whom each takes its name, and common investment goals,
           PSCO Partners, PSCO Partners Two and PSCO Fund Limited have no
           agreement or understanding for concerted action in acquiring,
           holding or disposing of shares of the common stock of Citation.
