ITEM 3. Source and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration

      The individual reporting persons obtained funds for the purchase of the
shares of Common Stock from personal funds, working capital and other funds. The
partnerships obtained funds for the purchase of the shares of Common Stock from
their respective working capital and other funds.

      On December 17, 1996, each of the reporting persons received shares of
Common Stock as a result of the conversion of all of the Issuer's outstanding
Series A Redeemable Voting Preferred Stock, (the "Preferred Stock") and all
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon into 473,692 shares of Common Stock. In
August 1996, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its Common Stock on
the basis of .3976 shares of Common Stock for each outstanding share of Common
Stock.

      In April, 1996, in connection with a prebridge financing, 21st Century,
T-E and Foreign loaned $170,000, $57,000 and $23,000 (the "Prebridge Notes"),
respectively to the Issuer. In August, 1996, 21st Century, T-E and Foreign
converted their Prebridge Notes into bridge units and received $170,000
principal amount of Bridge Notes and 85,000 Bridge Warrants, $57,000 principal
amount of Bridge Notes and 28,500 Bridge Warrants, and $23,000 principal amount
of Bridge Notes and 11,500 Bridge Warrants, respectively. The Bridge Notes bear
interest at the rate of 10% per annum and will be paid at the consummation of
the IPO.

      The amount of funds used in acquiring the shares of Common Stock are set
forth below (excluding accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock):
