SECTION 16 REQUIREMENTS

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the
Company's directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file initial reports of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").  Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it with
respect to fiscal 1994, or written representations from certain reporting
persons, the Company believes that all of its directors, officers and persons
who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities
complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to
transactions during 1994.
