statements and notes thereto incorporated by reference from the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations or financial position that would have resulted had the sale
occurred as described above, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of
operations of future periods or future financial position.
