         The filing of this statement should not be construed as an admission

by this statement, other than the securities set forth opposite such
person's name in the table in Item 4(c) below.

               (a) Amount beneficially owned:

                        As of December 31, 1998:  (1) Investors owned
                   104,402 shares of Common Stock and 83,169 Warrants to
                   purchase Common Stock;  (2)  MSVCCV owned 100,135 shares
                   of Common Stock and 79,838 Warrants to purchase Common
                   Stock; and (3) the Fund owned 402,213 shares of Common
                   Stock and 320,453 Warrants to purchase Common Stock.
                   Ventures is the sole general partner of the Fund, the
                   general partner of Investors and the investment general
                   partner of MSVCCV, and, as such, has the power to vote
                   or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the
                   disposition of all of the Common Stock held by the Fund,
                   Investors and MSVCCV.  MSVC, as the managing general
                   partner of Ventures, controls the actions of Ventures.
                   Morgan Stanley, as the sole shareholder of MSVC,
                   controls the actions of MSVC.  Accordingly, Ventures,
                   MSVC and Morgan Stanley may all be deemed to have
                   beneficial ownership of the 1,090,210 shares of Common
                   Stock and Warrants to purchase Common Stock collectively
                   owned by the Fund, Investors, and MSVCCV.
