Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) On November 28, 2000, the US Fund purchased 718,167 shares of Common Stock
(the "US Fund Common Stock"). Prior to November 28, 2000, the US Fund owned (x)
43,093 shares of Series 1-A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into
2,154,650 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions
(the "US Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares"), (y) 64,637 shares of Series 2
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "US Fund Series 2 Preferred Stock"), which are
convertible into 1,292,740 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain
anti-dilution provisions (the "US Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares"), and (z)
warrants to purchase up to 538,662 shares of Common Stock (the "US Fund Warrant
Shares").

           On November 28, 2000, the Offshore Fund purchased 115,167 shares of
Common Stock (the "Offshore Fund Common Stock"). Prior to November 28, 2000, the
Offshore Fund owned (x) 6,907 shares of Series 1-A Preferred Stock, which are
convertible into 345,350 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain
anti-dilution provisions (the "Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares"), (y)
10,363 shares of Series 2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Offshore Fund Series

subject to certain anti-dilution provisions (the "Offshore Fund Series 2

Stock (the "Offshore Fund Warrant Shares").

           On November 28, 2000, Robert Fleming Inc. purchased 833,300 shares of
Common Stock (the "RFI Common Stock").

           Because of their relationship as affiliated entities, both Funds may
be deemed to beneficially own the US Fund Common Stock, US Fund Series 1-A
Conversion Shares, the US Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares, the US Fund Warrant
Shares, the Offshore Fund Common Stock, the Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion
Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares and the Offshore Fund
Warrant Shares. As the general partner of both Funds, Fleming Partners may be
deemed to beneficially own the US Fund Common Stock, the US Fund Series 1-A
Conversion Shares, the US Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares, the US Fund Warrant
Shares, the Offshore Fund Common Stock, the Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion
Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares and the Offshore Fund
Warrant Shares. As the general partner of Fleming Partners, Discovery may be
deemed to beneficially own the US Fund Common Stock, the US Fund Series 1-A
Conversion Shares, the US Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares, the US Fund Warrant
Shares, the Offshore Fund Common Stock, Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion
Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares and the Offshore Fund
Warrant Shares. In addition to the direct ownership of the RFI Common Stock, as
investment adviser to the Funds, controlling member of Discovery and the sole
limited partner of Fleming Partners, RFI may be deemed to beneficially own the
US Fund Common Stock, US Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the US Fund Series 2
Conversion Shares, the US Fund Warrant Shares, the Offshore Fund Common Stock,
the Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the Offshore Fund Series 2
Conversion Shares and the Offshore Fund Warrant Shares. RFI is 100% owned by
Chase. Thus, as the parent of RFI, Chase may be deemed to beneficially own the
RFI Common Stock, the US Fund Common Stock, the US Fund Series 1-A Conversion
Shares, the US Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares, the US Fund Warrant Shares, the
Offshore Fund Series 1-A Conversion Shares, the Offshore Fund Common Stock, the
Offshore Fund Series 2 Conversion Shares and the Offshore Fund Warrant Shares.

           As of November 28, 2000, each of the Funds, Fleming Partners and
Discovery may be deemed to have owned beneficially 16.7% of the outstanding
Common Stock, on an aggregated basis, which percentage is calculated based upon
(i) 28,052,317 (25,635,648 shares of Common Stock reported outstanding by the
Issuer to the Reporting Persons as of October 25, 2000 and 2,416,669 shares
issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreements), (ii) the US Fund Common Stock

and the Offshore Fund Common Stock (833,334), (iii) the number of shares of
Common Stock (2,500,000) issuable upon conversion of the US Fund Series 1-A
Preferred Stock and Offshore Fund Series 1-A Preferred Stock, (iv) the number of
shares of Common Stock (1,500,000) issuable upon conversion of the US Fund
Series 2 Preferred Stock and Offshore Fund Series 2 Preferred Stock and (v) the
number of shares of Common Stock (625,000) issuable upon exercise of the
Warrants.

           The percentage is calculated by dividing 5,458,334 (which is the sum
of 833,334, 2,500,000, 1,500,000 and 625,000) by 32,677,317 (which is the sum of
2,500,000, 1,500,000, 625,000, 25,635,648 and 2,416,669).

           As of November 28, 2000, each of RFI and Chase may be deemed to have
owned beneficially 19.25% of the outstanding Common Stock, on an aggregated
basis, which percentage is calculated based upon (i) 28,052,317 (25,635,648
shares of Common Stock reported outstanding by the Issuer to the Reporting
Persons as of October 25, 2000 and 2,416,669 shares issued pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreements, (ii) the US Fund Common Stock and the Offshore Fund Common
Stock (833,334), (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock (2,500,000) issuable
upon conversion of the US Fund Series 1-A Preferred Stock and Offshore Fund
Series 1-A Preferred Stock, (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock
(1,500,000) issuable upon conversion of the US Fund Series 2 Preferred Stock and
Offshore Fund Series 2 Preferred Stock, (v) the number of shares of Common Stock
(625,000) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and (vi) the RFI Common Stock
(833,300).

           The percentage is calculated by dividing 6,291,634 (which is the sum
of 833,334, 2,500,000, 1,500,000, 625,000 and 833,300) by 32,677,317 (which is
the sum of 2,500,000, 1,500,000, 625,000, 25,635,648 and 2,416,669).


(b) The information required by this paragraph is reflected on Lines 7-10 of
each Reporting Person's cover page, is incorporated herein by reference.

(c) None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in the Common
Stock during the last 60 days.
