(1)	The Warrants were issued on September 12, 2002 pursuant
to the Agreement and Plan of Exchange dated April 11, 2002 between
the Issuer and Etablissements Bourgogne et Grasset SA ("B&G") as
part of the consideration for the exchange of shares in B&G.
The Warrants were intended to provide "antidilution" protection
against options and similar rights granted by the Issuer prior
to the closing of the exchange which are exercised after the
closing and against ecurities issued to the Issuer's investment
banker as a result of the closing.  Thus, the Warrants are only
exercisable if, as and when these options or rights are exercised
or such securities issued.  The Warrants will expire 30 days after
the Issuer notifies the Warrant holder that the last of those
options or rights have expired.

(2)	The option was granted under the Issuer's 1994 Director's
Stock Option Plan and vests over a three-year period, 2,000
shares per year.


Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of
securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
