                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

         In connection with the initial public offering by the Company of Common
Stock  consummated on November 30, 1993, the Company issued to Whale  Securities
Co., L.P. ("Whale") and Dickinson & Co.  ("Dickinson"),  the underwriters of the
offering,  underwriters' warrants ("Underwriters' Warrants") for the purchase of
up to an aggregate of 360,000 shares of Common Stock. The Underwriters' Warrants
permit the holder thereof to purchase shares of Common Stock at $8.25 per share,
exercisable until November 30, 1998. Subsequent to their issuance, each of Whale
and  Dickinson  transferred  certain  of  the  Underwriters'   Warrants  to  its
respective officers and directors and their successors.

         On April 12,  1996,  the  Company  sold  shares  of Common  Stock in an
offering  pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities  Act. In connection with
the  offering,  the Company  employed Mr. Jack  Ferraro as a  consultant  to the
Company in the offering and as  compensation  for his services  issued  warrants
("Reg S Warrants") to Messrs. Jack Erlanger and his designee Jack M. Ferraro for
the purchase of up to an  aggregate of 250,000  shares of Common Stock at $10.00
per share, exercisable until April 12, 2001.

         On July 16, 1996, the Company entered into a consulting  agreement with
Whale to provide certain financial  advisory services for a five year period. In
connection  with  this  agreement,   the  Company  issued  options  ("Consultant
Options") to Whale and its designee,  Frog Hollow Partners,  for the purchase of
up to an  aggregate  of  200,000  shares of Common  Stock at $10.00  per  share,
exercisable until July 16, 2001.

         The Company has  registered for resale by the Selling  Stockholders  on
the  Registration  Statement of which this Prospectus  forms a part, the 810,000
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Warrants, Reg
S Warrants and the Consultant Options.  Unless otherwise indicated,  the Selling
Stockholders  each possess sole voting and investment  power with respect to the
Shares  shown  and  none  of  the  Selling   Stockholders  has  had  a  material
relationship  with the Company or any of its  predecessors or affiliates  within
the past three years.

         The registration rights granted to certain of the Selling  Stockholders
generally provide that the Company and the Selling  Stockholders  indemnify each
other against certain  liabilities,  including  liabilities under the Securities
Act. In the opinion of the Commission,  such  indemnification  is against public
policy and is, therefore unenforceable.
