          Name                    # of Shares                Investment Cost

          Domestic Fund           194,196                   $2,107,027
          Offshore Fund           122,639                   $1,330,633
          Omni Fund                22,265                   $  241,575
          Polaris                  25,000                   $  250,000

      The source of the funds used to make the purchases of the Common Stock 
was working capital and no part of the purchase price was represented by funds 
or other consideration specially borrowed or otherwise specifically obtained 
for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the securities.  
      The Common Stock beneficially owned by the Domestic Fund, the Offshore 
Fund, the Omni Fund and Admirals Fund is held in margin accounts at Morgan 
Stanley & Co., Incorporated and the Common Stock beneficially owned by Polaris 
is held in a margin account at Bear, Stearns & Co., all of which accounts may, 
from time to time, have debit balances.  Since other securities are held in 
such margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amount, if any, of 
margin used with respect to the Common Stock purchased.  Currently, the 
interest rate charged on such margin accounts is 6.0% per annum.
