- --------------                     ---------

                                   As of December 31, 1998:

                                   (1) KS had beneficial ownership of 201,000
                                   shares of Common Stock by virtue of its
                                   position as general partner of, or
                                   discretionary investment manager to, the
                                   Partnerships and Managed Accounts, as the
                                   case may be, holding such shares of Common
                                   Stock. Such shares represent 1.8% of the
                                   issued and outstanding Common Stock. KS
                                   shares voting power and dispositive power
                                   over such shares with Mr. Kramer.

                                   (2) Mr. Kramer had beneficial ownership of
                                   203,000 shares of Common Stock by virtue of
                                   his position as (i) general partner of KS
                                   (201,000 shares of Common Stock representing
                                   1.8%), and (ii) an individual holder of
                                   Common Stock (2,000 shares of Common Stock
                                   representing less than 0.1%). Such shares
                                   represent 1.9% of the issued and outstanding
                                   Common Stock. Mr. Kramer has sole voting
                                   power and dispositive power over the shares
                                   of Common Stock described in (ii) above, and
                                   shares voting power and dispositive power
                                   over the shares of Common Stock described in
                                   (i) above with KS.

                                   The percentages used herein are calculated
                                   based upon the 10,885,000 shares of Common
                                   Stock stated to be issued and outstanding as
                                   of October 31, 1998, as reflected in the
                                   Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for

                                   1998.

                                   As of December 31, 1998, both KS and Mr.
                                   Kramer ceased to be the beneficial owner of
                                   more than five percent of the outstanding
