investment and voting power over securities  owned of record by these investment
companies.  However,  despite their delegation of investment and voting power to
TCA, these investment  companies may be deemed to be the beneficial owners under
Rule 13d-3 of the Act, of the  securities  they own of record  because they have
the right to acquire  investment  and voting power through  termination of their
investment  advisory  agreement  with TCA. Thus, TCA has reported that it shares
voting power and dispositive  power over the securities owned of record by these
investment companies.  TCA also acts as an investment advisor to certain managed
accounts.  Under contractual  agreements with individual  account holders,  TCA,
with respect to the securities held in the managed  accounts,  shares investment
and voting  power with  certain  account  holders,  and has no voting  power but
shares  investment power with certain other account  holders.  TCA may be deemed
the  beneficial  owner of the securities  covered by this  statement  under Rule
13d-3 of the Act.  None of the  securities  listed  below are owned of record by
TCA, and TCA disclaims any beneficial interest in such shares.
