                                    EXHIBIT A

         This joint Schedule 13G is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) by the
following individuals, who may be deemed members of a group:

                  Gilchrist B. Berg
                  Robin P. Bradbury

         Messrs. Berg and Bradbury are both principals of Water Street Capital,
Inc., which is engaged in the investment management business.

         Of the shares reported by Mr. Berg on his cover page, all but 31,600
shares are owned by investment partnerships and managed accounts (which
partnerships and managed accounts collectively total less than 15) over which
Mr. Berg has sole voting and investment power, and the remaining 31,600 shares,
over which Mr. Berg has sole voting and investment power, are owned by Mr. Berg
or members of his immediate family. The partnerships, managed accounts and
personal and family accounts through which the shares shown on Mr.
Berg's cover page are held are referred to herein as the "Berg Accounts."

         The shares reported by Mr. Bradbury on his cover page, over which he
has sole voting and investment power, consist of shares owned by Mr. Bradbury or
members of his immediate family. Such personal and family accounts are referred
to herein as the "Bradbury Accounts."

         Any dividends on the shares in the Berg Accounts and the Bradbury
Accounts, and the proceeds from the sale of such shares, will be paid to such
accounts, based on the relative number of shares held in each.

         Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b), Messrs. Berg and Bradbury may be deemed to
have formed a group for the purpose of acquiring, holding and disposing of
securities of the issuer inasmuch as they anticipate that investments in or
dispositions of the Common Stock may be made by the Berg Accounts and the
Bradbury Accounts together. Accordingly, Mr. Berg may be deemed (but disclaims)
to be the beneficial owner of the shares held in the Bradbury Accounts, and Mr.
Bradbury may be deemed (but disclaims) to be the beneficial owner of shares held
in the Berg Accounts.
