the Retirement Benefits Scheme, Messrs. Vilar, Tanaka, Stableford 
and Ms. Le Port are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as 
the "Reporting Persons."  Messrs. Vilar, Tanaka, Stableford, Furey, Garcia and 
Ms. LePort are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Other 
Named Individuals."

          During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or Other 
Named Individuals has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors), nor has any such individual or entity
been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction as a result of which proceeding such individual or
entity 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.


ITEM 3.   Source and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration.
- -------   --------------------------------------------------
          All purchases of the subject securities by the Reporting Persons

Amerindo U.K. and Amerindo Panama (collectively, the "Advisor Entities") as

under management, except that the shares owned by the Retirement Benefits 
Scheme were purchased with Retirement Benefits Scheme assets, respectively.  
Purchases of the Issuer's securities by the Named Individuals would all be 
and have all been made with their personal funds, except that margin credit 
may also be, and may have been, employed.

<PAGE>ITEM 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
- -------   ----------------------

        All of the subject securities have been purchased by the Advisor
Entities in the ordinary course of their respective businesses as
investment advisors (or, in the case of securities held by the

effecting changing or influencing the control of the issuer or in
connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose
or effect, including any transaction subject to Rule 13D-3(b) under the
Exchange Act.  Additionally, because each of the Advisor Entities is
obligated to act in the best interests of its respective clients and in
accordance with the respective mandates of those clients, there is no
agreement between or among any of the Reporting Persons to act together
with respect to the Issuer or its securities, except that they may, from
time to time and provided that transactions are otherwise being effected at
the same time, aggregate orders for client accounts in order to receive
more favorable trading terms.  Any of the subject securities acquired or
which might in the future be acquired by any of the Named Individuals have
been and would be acquired for investment and not with the purpose of
effecting of changing or influencing the control of the issuer or in

or effect, including any transaction subject to Rule 13D-3(b) under the
Exchange Act.
