     (a) The Fund is the record owner of the Fund Shares and the Fund Warrants.
The Fund Shares and the Fund Warrants are currently convertible into, or
exerciseable for, a total of 926,966 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (the
"Fund Conversion Shares"). Because of their relationship as affiliated entities,
the Fund, the Fund's GP, the GP Company and the GP Parent may be deemed to
beneficially own the Fund Conversion Shares. To the best of the knowledge of the
GP Company and the GP Parent, no director or executive officer of the GP Company
or the GP Parent beneficially owns any Fund Conversion Shares.

     Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 13.5% of
the Issuer's Common Stock, which percentage is calculated based upon (i)
5,921,526 shares reported outstanding in the Issuer's Form 10-Q for the period
ending September 30, 1996, and (ii) the number of shares (926,966) issuable upon
conversion of the Fund Shares and the exercise of the Fund Warrants.

     (b) Number of Shares as to which each such person has

            (i) Sole power to vote or direct the vote:

                -0- shares for each Reporting Person;

           (ii) Shared power to vote or direct the vote:

                926,966 shares for each Reporting Person;

          (iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition:

                -0- shares for each Reporting Person;

           (iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition:

                926,966 shares for each Reporting Person.

     The Fund's GP, the GP Company and the GP Parent each disclaim the existence
of a group between it and the Fund and disclaim beneficial ownership of the Fund
Conversion Shares.

     (c) Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons (nor any
director or executive officer of the GP Company or the GP Parent to the best of
such entities' knowledge) has effected any transaction in the Shares during the
last 60 days.
