ITEM 7A -- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

   Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, operating results, or cash flows due to adverse changes in financial and commodity market prices and rates. We are exposed to market risk due to changes in United States interest rates. This exposure is directly related to our normal operating and funding activities. Historically, and as of December 31, 2000, we have not used derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities.

   The interest rate on our $15.0 million revolving credit facility is prime plus 1.5%. The revolving credit facility expires in September 2002. As of December 31, 2000, we had outstanding borrowings on the revolving line of credit of $11.4 million. Changes in interest rates have no impact on our other debt as all of our other notes have fixed interest rates between 8% and 14%.

   We manage interest rate risk by investing excess funds in cash equivalents and short-term investments bearing variable interest rates, which are tied to various market indices. As a result, we do not believe that near-term changes in interest rates will result in a material effect on our future earnings, fair values or cash flows.
