            (d-e) During the last five years, neither Mr. Caland, SCI nor, to
the best knowledge of SCI, the executive officers and directors of SCI has been
(i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

            (f) Mr. Caland is a dual citizen of France and Lebanon and SCI is a
corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

            On October 3, 1997, Mr. Caland, through SCI, Bomoseen and Dandelion,
acquired 259,480 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Initial Shares")
and warrants to purchase 259,480 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants") for an
aggregate purchase price of $12,974,000. These Shares were originally held of
record by SCI, Bomoseen Investment, Ltd., a privately held British Virgin
Islands corporation ("Bomoseen"), and Dandelion Investments, Ltd., a privately
held British Virgin Islands corporation ("Dandelion"). Pursuant to the agreement
to which Mr. Caland acquired the Initial Shares and the Warrants the 


                               Page 5 of 10 pages
<PAGE>

Company provided certain price protections for the Initial Shares. On March 1,
1999, the Company, Mr. Caland, SCI, Bomoseen and Dandelion reached an Agreement
pursuant to which the Company issued an additional 1,227,292 shares of Common
Stock (together with the Initial Shares, the "Shares") in satisfaction of such
price protection arrangement. Simultaneously therewith, Bomoseen and Dandelion
transferred all of the Shares held by them on Mr. Caland's behalf to SCI.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

            The Shares were acquired by the Reporting Persons solely for
investment purposes. Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons
have no present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of
the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of
the Act. Depending on market conditions and other factors that each may deem
material to its investment decision, each of the Reporting Persons may purchase
additional shares in the open market or in private transactions or may dispose
of all or a portion of the Shares that such Reporting Persons now owns or
hereafter may acquire.

            Although the foregoing represents the range of activities presently
contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company, it should be
noted that the possible activities of the Reporting Persons are subject to
change at any time.

Stock and warrants to purchase 259,480 shares of Common Stock, constituting
approximately 9.61% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (which calculation
is based on 17,908,221 shares of Common Stock outstanding on March 1, 1999 as
reported by an officer of the Company and as adjusted to reflect the assumed
exercise of the 259,480 Warrants which are exercisable within 60 days of the
date hereof).

            Due to his position as the majority holder of the stock of SCI, Mr.

Shares owned directly by SCI. To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons,

deemed to share power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the
disposition of the Shares and the Warrants.

            (c) Except as set forth in Item 3, neither Mr. Caland, SCI, nor, to
the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the 


                               Page 7 of 10 pages
<PAGE>

executive officers and directors of SCI has effected any transactions in the
Shares in the past sixty (60) days.

        Securities of the Issuer.

            Except as set forth herein or in the Exhibits filed herewith,
neither Mr. Caland, SCI, nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons,
the executive officers and directors of SCI, has any contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with each other or with any
other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not
limited to the transfer or voting of any of the Company's securities, finder's
fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or call, guarantees of
