     (f) The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States.
Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Warrant Shares were acquired through cashless exercise of a warrant for 200,000 shares which had been issued to 10701 Red Circle, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company wholly controlled by the Holder, on February 25, 2003 in connection with a sale and leaseback transaction with the Issuer.
