On January 18, 2000, Value Partners received 27,841 shares of the

exchanged, at any time, by the holder thereof, for 1.039 shares of Common
Stock. Also, as of March 27, 2000, Value Partners disposed of 2,019,876
shares of Common Stock. Thus, Value Partners beneficially owned 1,539,265
shares of Common Stock as of March 27, 2000. Value Partners has the sole
power to vote and dispose of the 1,539,265 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by it. Ewing & Partners, as general partner of Value
Partners, may direct the vote and disposition of the 1,539,265 shares of
Common Stock owned by Value Partners. Similarly, Mr. Ewing, as managing
general partner of Ewing & Partners, may direct the vote and disposition of
the 1,539,265 shares of Common Stock owned by Value Partners.
Mr. Ewing has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 1,990
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him. Mr. Ewing does not share
the power to vote or to direct the vote of, or the power to dispose or to
