Issuer, Mr. Leiferman, from time to time, explores and is presented with
potential actions and transactions which may be advantageous to the Issuer and
its stockholders, including possible mergers, acquisitions and other business
combinations. On April 13, 1998, the Issuer commenced an issuer tender offer for
approximately 30% of its outstanding shares of Common Stock. Assuming all such
shares are purchased pursuant to the offer, officers and directors (including
Mr. Leiferman) and affiliates of the Company will own approximately 49.5% of the

that it is eligible to terminate its registration under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and that it intends to do so regardless of the results
of the offer.
Other than as discussed above and in the performance of his duties as a
director and an executive officer of the Issuer, Mr. Leiferman has no current
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:
(a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;
(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries;
(c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or
any of its subsidiaries;
(d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the
Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or
term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
(e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of the Issuer;
-4-
<PAGE>
(f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate
structure;
(g) changes in the Issuer's articles of incorporation, bylaws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede
the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any persons;
(h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
securities association;
(i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
