Neither Reliance Financial nor, to the best of its knowledge, any other person
named in this Item 2 has, during the last five years, been convicted in a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) nor,
except as set forth below, been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is 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.

On February 17, 1994, in settlement of an administrative proceeding concerning
the accounting treatment for certain transactions in 1986 in the fixed income
portfolio of RIC, without admitting or denying the allegations against it, RGH
agreed to entry of an order by the Securities and Exchange Commission that RGH
cease and desist from committing or causing any violation, and from committing
or causing any future violation of, Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-3 thereunder.


ITEM 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.


According to the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months
ended September 30, 1999, the number of shares of the Security outstanding has
decreased to 13,986,431 shares. As a result, the 4,039,473 shares of the
Security beneficially owned by Reliance Financial comprise, to the best
knowledge of Reliance Financial, approximately 28.9% of the Securities
outstanding. RIC has sole voting and dispositive power over the Securities
beneficially owned by Reliance Financial.
