any other Reporting Person.  The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint 
Filing Agreement, dated October 7, 1997, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 
C.

         OIML's principal business is investment management of mutual funds. 
The address of OIML's principal business and principal office is 34 
Bermudiana Road, Hamilton, HM 11 Bermuda.

         OAML's principal business is serving as general partner and
