                COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"),   requires  the  Company's  officers  and  directors,   and  persons  who
beneficially  own more than ten percent of a registered  class of the  Company's
equity securities, to file reports of ownership and change in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and The Nasdaq Stock Market. Such
reports  are  filed  on Form 3,  Form 4,  and  Form 5 under  the  Exchange  Act.
Officers,  directors and greater than  ten-percent  shareholders are required by
Exchange Act regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file.

Based  solely on its  review  of the  copies of such  forms  received  by it, or
written  representations  from  certain  reporting  persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons,  the Company believes that, during fiscal year ended
December  31,  1996  all  officers,  directors,  and  greater  than  ten-percent
beneficial owners complied with the applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements

Form 4s reporting,  respectively,  the  acquisition  in May and June 1996 by the
