Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) - (b) As a holder of sole voting and investment authority over the shares
owned by FamCo Value Income Partners, L.P. ("FamCo VIP") and FamCo Offshore,
Ltd. and as a holder of the Issuer's shares directly, Mr. Funsten may be deemed,
for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, to be the beneficial owner of a total of 365,525 shares and 136,687
warrants owned by himself and those entities. Based upon the combined ownership
of the shares and the warrants, Mr. Funsten may be deemed to own 9.90378% (1) of
the Issuer's 4,934,225 shares outstanding as of February 8, 2000 (based upon
information obtained from the Issuer). Mr. Funsten disclaims any economic
interest in the shares as to which Mr. Funsten has no direct or indirect
pecuniary interest.
An employee of Funsten Asset Management Company ("Management Company") owns an
additional 4,100 shares which cannot be sold or further added to without
permission by Mr. Funsten by virtue of restrictions that are placed on
securities transactions by employees of the Management Company; however, Mr.
Funsten has no investment or voting authority over the shares of said employee
and Mr. Funsten expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.
(c) The following presents a list of transactions by Mr. Funsten, FamCo VIP and
FamCo Offshore, Ltd. in the securities of the Issuer within the last 60 days,
including the price per share and the means by which such transaction was
effected.
- --------
(1) The percentage was calculated by adding 365,525 shares to 136,687 warrants
and by dividing the sum by the sum of 4,934,225 shares (outstanding) and 136,687
(number of warrants).

(2) Each Unit consists of one share of Series B Preferred Stock, 200 shares of
common stock and one warrant to purchase 100 shares of common stock. The
warrants may be exercised at any time between March 9, 2000 through December 9,
2004. The initial exercise price for the warrants is $6.7425 per share, subject
to adjustment pursuant to certain antidilution and reset provisions. Since the
warrants may be exercised within 60 days of the date of this filing, Mr. Funsten
may be deemed to beneficially own the 50,000 shares of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of the warrants. Such shares have therefore been included in
this filing.
Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred
Stock, each Share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into common stock
any time after June 9, 2000. Given that the Series B Preferred Stock may not be
converted within 60 days of the date of this filing, the shares of common stock
issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock have not been included
in the amounts shown in this filing.
(3) The Issuer has not supplied the purchase price of each component of the
Units; only the aggregate price is available and is therefore reported herein.
