Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
- -------  -----------------------

         On March 25, 1998,  the  Reporting  Persons,  as  represented  by Kass,
furnished  a letter to  management  of the  Company  for the  purpose of seeking
appropriate  responses from such  management with respect to the concerns of the
Reporting  Persons relating to the poor performance of the Company.  On April 3,
1998,  management of the Company issued a letter to Kass purportedly in response
to the  concerns  contained  in the  letter  of March  25,  1998.  Based on that
response,  Curators Partners has, as of the date hereof, requested a list of the
Company's  stockholders  from the  Company  so that the  Reporting  Persons,  as
represented by Kass,  may  communicate  their  concerns and address  appropriate
action with certain of such stockholders.

         The   Reporting   Persons,   depending   upon  the   outcome   of  such
communications, may or may not acquire additional shares of Common Stock or take
other  actions.  Alternatively,  the Reporting  Persons may determine to sell or
otherwise  dispose  of some or all of the shares of the  Common  Stock  owned by
them,  depending  upon a continued  assessment of such  communications  or other
developments.  In making any such  determinations,  the  Reporting  Persons will
consider their goals and objectives, other investment opportunities available to
them, as well as other factors.

         The  foregoing  actions  may be taken  by one or more of the  Reporting
Persons  and,  while  currently  there  are  no  plans  to do  so,  possibly  in
combination with others.  The Reporting Persons may also consider whether or not
other stockholders of the Company will become members of their group.

         Except as set forth  herein,  the  Reporting  Persons  have no plans or
