Notes to the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet

(a)     Reflects the elimination of the assets and liabilities sold under
        the Asset Purchase Agreement.

(b)     Reflects the recognition of the amount of sale proceeds placed into
        escrow until the final value of the assets and liabilities assumed
        are determined.

(c)     Reflects the repayment of the borrowings under the existing
        revolving credit and term loan agreement, and funding of Stratford
        Division's overdraft with the proceeds from sale of Stratford
        Division's assets.

(d)     The Company was required in connection with the transaction to
        repay the line of credit and term loan and fund the overdraft. This
        adjustment reflects the increase in borrowings to finance the repayment
        of the line of credit and term loan agreement, funding of the
        overdraft, less proceeds from the sale of the Stratford Division
        assets. The Company intends to use the sale proceeds to reduce
        borrowings.

        The adjustment to the revolving credit reflects the amounts that
        would have been borrowed had the transaction occurred as of April 3,
        1999. The actual borrowings as of the closing date of the
        transaction were $2,324 less, reflecting lower net asset values as
        of that date.
