                                    Exhibit A


                  Each of Occidental, TALIAC and TLIC Canada is an insurance
company as defined in Section 3(a)(19) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
TIS is an investment adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. Each of the above entities is a direct or indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Transamerica.

                  Note: Management of the affairs of subsidiaries of
Transamerica, including decisions respecting dispositions and/or voting of the
shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such subsidiaries, resides in
respective officers and directors of the subsidiaries and is not directed by
Transamerica or other subsidiaries. Accordingly, the filing of this Schedule 13G
by Transamerica is not intended as, and should not be deemed, an acknowledgment
of beneficial ownership or shared voting or dispositive power by it of the
shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by its subsidiaries, and such
beneficial ownership or attribution of shared voting or dispositive power is
expressly disclaimed.
