          (a)  Aggregate Number or Percentage of Shares of Common
               Stock Outstanding Beneficially Owned by the

               According to Schedules 13D filed by Lance Laifer,
               Laifer Capital Management, Inc. and Hilltop
               Partners, L.P., and subsequent information
               provided by such parties to the Company, such
               parties have disposed of all of their shares of
               Common Stock, with the result that Mr. Price no
               longer shares the power to vote and dispose of
               shares of Common Stock held by such parties.  As a
               consequence, and as a consequence of certain
               dispositions of Common Stock by Mr. Price (none of
               which occurred during the past 60 days), Mr. Price
               beneficially owned as of March 24, 1997, 447,238
               shares of Common Stock or approximately 6.2% of
               the 7,207,114 shares outstanding on February 19,
               1997

               Mr. Price has the sole power to vote the shares
               listed under Item 5(a) and the sole power to
               dispose of such shares.
