FINANCIAL STRESS SUMMARY

The Financial Stress Model predicts the likelihood of a firm ceasing business
without paying all creditors in full, or reorganizing or obtaining relief from
creditors under state/federal law over the next 12 months. Scores were
calculated using a statistically valid model derived from D&B's extensive data
files.


 Financial Stress Class:                               1
 (Highest Risk: 5; Lowest Risk: 1)

 Incidence of Financial Stress Among
 Companies with this Classification:                   0.37% (37 per 10,000)

 Incidence of Financial Stress:                        0.80% (80 per 10,000)
 - National Average

 Financial Stress National Percentile:                38
 (Highest Risk: 1; Lowest Risk: 100)

 Financial Stress Score:                            1425
 (Highest Risk: 1,001; Lowest Risk: 1,850)

The Financial Stress Class for this company is based on the following factors:

   - Payment experiences exist for this firm which are greater than 60 days
     past due.
   - Payment information indicates negative payment comments.
   - Evidence of open Suit(s), Lien(s) and Judgment(s) in the D&B database.
   - Business does not own facilities.
   - 15% of trade experiences indicate slow payment(s) are present.
   - D&B files indicate a net worth of $2,980,930.
   - Age or date entered in the D&B files indicates lower risk.
   - Current liabilities to net worth suggests potential higher risk of
     financial stress.

 Notes:

- The Financial Stress Class indicates that this firm shares some of
the same business and financial characteristics of other companies with
this classification.  It does not mean the firm will necessarily
experience financial stress.

- The Incidence of Financial Stress shows the percentage of firms in a
given Class that discontinued operations over the past year with loss
to creditors.  The Incidence of Financial Stress - National Average
represents the national failure rate and is provided for comparative
purposes.

- The Financial Stress National Percentile reflects the relative
ranking of a company among all scorable companies in D&B's file.

- The Financial Stress Score offers a more precise measure of the level
of risk than the Class and Percentile.  It is especially helpful to
customers using a scorecard approach to determining overall business
performance.

- All Financial Stress Class, Percentile, Score and Incidence
statistics are based on 1997.

CREDIT SCORE SUMMARY

The Credit Score Class predicts the likelihood of a firm paying in a severely
delinquent manner (90+ Days Past Terms) over the next twelve months.  It was
calculated using statistically valid models and the most recent payment
information in D&B's files.

Credit Score Class:                              5

Incidence of Delinquent Payment Among
Companies with this Classification:             60.50%

Percentile:                                     10

  - 15% of trade experiences indicate slow payment(s) are present.
  - Payment experiences exist for this firm which are greater than 60 days past
    due.
  - Payment information indicates negative payment comments.
  - Evidence of open Suit(s), Lien(s) and Judgment(s) in the D&B database.

    delinquent manner than 79% of all scorable companies in D&B's files.
