      full legal name of each  person for whom the report is  filed--i.e.,  each
      person  required to sign the schedule  itself--including  each member of a
      group.  Do not include the name of a person  required to be  identified in
      the report but who is not a reporting  person.  Reporting persons that are
      entities  are  also  requested  to  furnish  their  I.R.S.  identification
      numbers,  although disclosure of such numbers is voluntary,  not mandatory
      (see "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G" below).

(2)   If any of the shares  beneficially owned by a reporting person are held as
      a member of a group and that  membership  is  expressly  affirmed,  please
      check row 2(a). If the reporting person disclaims membership in a group or
      describes  a  relationship  with  other  persons  but does not  affirm the
      existence  of a group,  please check row 29b) [unless it is a joint filing
      pursuant  to Rule  13d-1(k)(1)  in which case it may not be  necessary  to
      check row 2(b)].

(3)   The third row is for SEC internal use; please leave blank.

(4)   Citizenship  or Place of  Organization--Furnish  citizenship  if the named
      reporting  person  is  a  natural  person.  Otherwise,  furnish  place  of
      organization.

(5)-(9), (11) Aggregate  Amount  Beneficially  Owned By Each  Reporting  Person,
      Etc.--Rows  (5) through (9)  inclusive,  and (11) are to be  completed  in
      accordance  with the provisions of Item 4 of Schedule 13G. All percentages
      are to be  rounded  off to the  nearest  tenth (one  place  after  decimal
      point).

(10)  Check if the aggregate  amount reported as  beneficially  owned in row (9)
      does not include  shares as to which  beneficial  ownership is  disclaimed
      pursuant to Rule 13d-4 (17 CFR 240.13d-4)  under the  Securities  Exchange
      Act of 1934.

(12)  Type  of  Reporting   Person--Please   classify  each  "reporting  person"

Notes:
      Attach as many  copies of the second part of the cover page as are needed,
one reporting person per page.

      Filing  persons  may, in order to avoid  unnecessary  duplication,  answer
items on the  schedules  (Schedule  13D,  13G or  14D-1)  by  appropriate  cross
references to an item or items on the cover  page(s).  This approach may only be
used where the cover page item or items provide all the  disclosure  required by
the schedule item. Moreover,  such a use of a cover page item will result in the
item becoming a part of the schedule and accordingly being considered as "filed"
for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities  Exchange Act or otherwise  subject
to the liabilities of that section of the Act.

                                Page 3 of 7 pages

      Reporting persons may comply with their cover page filing  requirements by
filing either completed copies of the blank forms available from the Commission,
printed or typed  facsimiles,  or  computer  printed  facsimiles,  provided  the
documents  filed  have  identical   formats  to  the  forms  prescribed  in  the
Commission's  regulations and meet existing  Securities Exchange Act rules as to
such matters as clarity and size (Securities Exchange Act Rule 12b-12).

              SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G

      Under Sections 13(d), 13(g), and 23 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and the rules and  regulations  thereunder,  the  Commission  is  authorized  to
solicit the  information  required  to be  supplied by this  schedule by certain
security holders of certain issuers.

      Disclosure  of the  information  specified in this  schedule is mandatory,
except for I.R.S.  identification numbers, disclosure of which is voluntary. The
information  will be used for the primary  purpose of determining and disclosing
the holdings of certain  beneficial  owners of certain equity  securities.  This
statement will be made a matter of public  record.  Therefore,  any  information
given will be available for inspection by any member of the public.

      Because of the public nature of the information, the Commission can use it
for a variety of purposes,  including referral to other governmental authorities
or securities  self-regulatory  organizations for  investigatory  purposes or in
connection with litigation involving the Federal securities laws or other civil,
criminal or regulatory statutes or provisions. I.R.S. identification numbers, if
furnished,  will assist the  Commission  in  identifying  security  holders and,
therefore,   in  promptly  processing  statements  of  beneficial  ownership  of
securities.

      Failure to disclose the information requested by this schedule, except for
I.R.S.  identification  numbers,  may result in civil or criminal action against
the persons  involved  for  violation of the Federal  securities  laws and rules
promulgated thereunder.
