restructuring program that eliminated manufacturing and included a
reduction in workforce of up to 90% (the "Rif") and a reduction in
Registrant's cash burn rate. Registrant was not able to file its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998
because it is finalizing cost recognition in connection with the Rif
for its September 30, 1998 financial statements.

$8.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 1998,
