                          INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCHEDULE 13G

Instructions for Cover Page

(1)      Names and Social  Security  Numbers of Reporting  Persons--Furnish  the
         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 are
         also   requested   to  furnish   their   Social   Security   or  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 such  membership  is  expressly  affirmed,
         please check row 2(a).  If the  membership  in a group is disclaimed or
         the reporting  person  describes a relationship  with other persons but
         does not affirm the existence of a group, please check row 2(b) [unless
         a joint filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(e)(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"  
        according to the following  breakdown  (see Item 3 of Schedule 13G) and 
        place the appropriate symbol on the form:


        Category                                                  Symbol
        Broker Dealer                                               BD
        Bank                                                        BK
        Insurance Company                                           IC
        Investment Company                                          IV
        Investment Adviser                                          IA
        Employee Benefit Plan, Pension Fund, or Endowment Fund      EP
        Parent Holding Company                                      HC
        Corporation                                                 CO
        Partnership                                                 PN
        Individual                                                  IN
        Other                                                       OO

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-I) 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. 

     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 Social Security or 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
utilize 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.  Social Security
or 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 Social  Security or 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.
