/2/  The securities reported herein include securities that the Reporting
Persons may acquire in the future through (i) the conversion of 3,000 shares of
the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"), which may be
converted by the Reporting Persons at any time prior to and including June 12,
2003 (subject to extension under certain circumstances) into shares of the
Company's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") at the conversion price described
below, and (ii) the exercise by the Reporting Persons at anytime prior to and
including June 12, 2003 (subject to extension under certain circumstances) of
warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase up to 1,505,498 shares of Common Stock.
The number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Shares are
convertible as of the date of this 13G is based on a conversion price of
$5.28125 as calculated below. The exercise price of the Warrants is $7.17375
(subject to adjustment after one year and to prevent dilution). The Preferred
Shares and the Warrants were issued on June 12, 2000.

The Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares (the "Conversion Price") as of any
conversion date or other date of determination is equal to the product of (i)
the conversion percentage (as discussed below) and (ii) the lowest closing bid
price for the Common Stock on its principal market ("Closing Bid Price") during
the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on and including the date of
determination; provided that in no event shall the Conversion Price exceed $25
(subject to adjustment to prevent dilution). As a result, as the Closing Bid
Price of the Common Stock fluctuates, the number of shares of Common Stock which
the holders of the Preferred Shares may be deemed to beneficially own may
fluctuate without any action taken by the holders of the Preferred Shares. The
conversion percentage on the issuance date of the Preferred Shares is equal to
100% and then decreases permanently one percentage point on the first day of
every month following June 12, 2000, provided that the conversion percentage
will never be less than 85%.

The Preferred Shares accrue dividends at the rate of 7% per annum from the date
of issuance, payable in cash or Common Stock at the option of the Company (with
certain exceptions) semi-annually during the first year and quarterly
thereafter.  If the Company meets the necessary requirements and elects to pay
dividends in shares of Common Stock, the conversion price for such dividends
would be equal to 95% of the arithmetic average of the closing sale prices of
the Common Stock on its principal market during the five (5) consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the dividend date.  As of the date of this 13G, the
Preferred Shares had accrued approximately $57,534.

Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares the Company will not be required
to issue more than approximately 7,295,546 shares of Common Stock to the
Reporting Persons upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and/or exercise of the
Warrants (the "Exchange Cap") until the earlier of the date the Company receives
shareholder approval for issuance of the Common Stock upon the conversion of the
Preferred Shares and the exercise of the Warrants and the date such issuance
would not violate the rules of the principal securities market or exchange on
which the Common Stock is designated or listed.

Pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, the Reporting
Persons cannot be "beneficial owners" of more than 9.99% of the Common Stock
within the meaning of Rule 13d-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 5   Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:
                    Not Applicable.

Item 6   Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:
                    Not Applicable.

Item 7   Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary which Acquired the
         Security Being Reported on by the Parent Holding Company:
                    See Item 2 above.

Item 8   Identification and Classification of Members of the Group:
            Not Applicable.

Item 9   Notice of Dissolution of Group:
            Not Applicable.

   By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the
securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose
of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of
the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a
participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
