               Kirk V. Roney:

          (a)  Kirk V. Roney beneficially owns or is deemed to
               beneficially own 3,246,752 shares of the Issuer's
               Common Stock as follows: -0- shares of Class A
               Common Stock, and 3,246,752 shares of the Issuer s
               Class B Common Stock, par value $.001 per share
               (the "Class B Common Stock").  Kirk V. Roney
               disclaims beneficial ownership of the following:
               3,246,752 shares of Class B Common Stock held
               indirectly as general partner of KMASIA, Ltd.; and
               75,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held
               indirectly as a co-trustee of The Kirk and Melanie
               Roney Fixed Charitable Trust.

          (b)  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible
               at any time at the option of the holder into one
               share of Class A Common Stock and each share of
               Class B Common Stock is automatically converted
               into one share of Class A Common Stock upon the
               transfer of such share of Class B Common Stock to
               any person who is not a Permitted Transferee as
               defined in the Stockholders Agreement effective as
               of November 20, 1996 entered into by and among the
               Existing Stockholders (as defined therein) and the
               Issuer.  Assuming conversion of all shares of
               Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed
               to be beneficially owned by him, Kirk V. Roney
               would beneficially own or be deemed to
               beneficially own 3,246,752 shares of Class A
               Common Stock, which would constitute 19.5% of the
               number of shares of then outstanding Class A
               Common Stock. 

               Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the
               holder to one vote on each matter submitted to a
               vote of the Issuer's stockholders and each share
               of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder to ten
               votes on each such matter, including the election
               of directors.  Assuming conversion of all
               outstanding 3,246,752 shares of Class B Common
               Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be
               beneficially owned by Kirk V. Roney, he would
               beneficially own or be deemed to beneficially own
               3,246,752 shares of Class A Common Stock
               beneficially which would constitute 0.5% of the
               aggregate voting power of the Issuer.

               Assuming no conversion of outstanding shares of
               Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed
               to be owned by Kirk V. Roney, he would
               beneficially own or be deemed to beneficially own
               3,246,752 shares of Class B Common Stock which
               would constitute 4.5% of the aggregate voting
               power of the Issuer.

          (c)  (i)  Not applicable.

               (ii) Assuming conversion of the 3,246,752 shares
               of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or
               deemed to beneficially owned by Kirk V. Roney,
               with respect to which he shares voting power, Kirk
               V. Roney would share voting power over 3,246,752
               shares of Class A Common Stock as follows: 
               3,171,752 shares of Class A Common Stock as
               general partner of KMASIA, Ltd.; and 75,000 shares
               of Class A Common Stock as co-trustee of the Kirk
               and Melanie Roney Fixed Charitable Trust.

               (iii) Not applicable.

               (iv)  Assuming conversion of the 3,246,752 shares
               of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or
               deemed to be beneficially owned by Kirk V. Roney,
               with respect to which he shares dispositive power,
               Kirk V. Roney would share dispositive power over
               3,246,752 shares of Class A Common Stock as
               follows:  3,171,752 shares of Class A Common Stock

               Melanie K. Roney:

          (a)  Melanie K. Roney beneficially owns or is deemed to

               Common Stock as follows:  -0- shares of Class A
               Common Stock and 3,246,752 shares of Class B
               Common Stock.

          (b)  Assuming conversion of all shares of Class B
               Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be
               beneficially owned by Melanie K. Roney, she would
               beneficially own or be deemed to beneficially own
               3,246,752 shares of Class A Common Stock which
               would constitute 1.9% of the number of shares of
               outstanding Class A Common Stock.

               Assuming no conversion of the 3,246,752 shares if
               Class B Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed
               to be beneficially owned by Melanie K. Roney, she
               would beneficially own or be deemed to
               beneficially own 3,246,752 shares of Class B
               Common Stock which would constitute 4.5% of the
               aggregate voting power of the Issuer.
