<PAGE>   8

of various notes issued by the Issuer in favor of J.F. Shea, in a face amount
totaling $1,702,500, bearing interest at 8% per annum, payable on demand.

     On October 10, 1997, the Issuer distributed, at no cost, to holders of its
Common Stock, nontransferable rights to purchase shares of Common Stock (the
"Rights"). Each stockholder received two Rights for each share of Common Stock
held by them (the "Rights Offering"). Each stockholder purchasing all of the
shares available to him or her could also subscribe to purchase any shares not
purchased pursuant to the Rights Offering, subject to proration (the
"Oversubscription Privilege"). Each Right entitled the holder to subscribe for
and purchase one share of Common Stock for a price of $0.50 per share. Mr. Shea,
individually, received 50,000 Rights as a result of the Rights Offering. The E &
M R.P. Trust, a California trust (the "Trust"), of which Mr. Shea is a trustee,
received 60,000 Rights as a result of the Rights Offering, and Siam Partners II,
a California limited partnership ("Siam"), of which the Trust is the general
partner, also received 60,000 Rights as a result of the Rights Offering. J.F.
Shea, of which Mr. Shea is a director, executive officer and stockholder,
received 1,702,500 Rights as a result of the Rights Offering and 2,564,344
Rights as a result of the Oversubscription Privilege.

     On December 10, 1997, Mr. Shea exercised all 50,000 of his Rights. On
January 9, 1998, Mr. Shea received 50,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Issuer as a result of such exercise for a purchase price of $25,000, paid in
cash from Mr. Shea's personal funds.

     Also on December 10, 1997, the Trust exercised all 60,000 of its Rights. On
January 9, 1998, the Trust received 60,000 shares of the Common Stock of the
Issuer as a result of such exercise for a purchase price of $30,000, paid in
cash from the Trust's personal funds.

     Also on December 10, 1997, Siam exercised all 60,000 of its Rights. On
January 9, 1998, Siam received 60,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer
as a result of such exercise for a purchase price of $30,000, paid in cash from
Siam's personal funds. Mr. Shea disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares
held by Siam, except to the extent of the Trust's interest in Siam. The Trust
has a 4.97% interest in Siam.

     Also on December 10, 1997, J.F. Shea exercised all 4,266,844 of its Rights.
On January 9, 1998, J.F. Shea received 4,266,844 shares of the Common Stock of
the Issuer as a result of such exercise for a purchase price of $2,133,422. The
$2,133,422 purchase price was paid by the discharge of various notes issued by
the Issuer in favor of J.F. Shea, in a face amount totaling $2,133,422, bearing
interest at 8% per annum, payable on demand.

     On October 22, 1997, Mr. Shea was granted an option (the "Option") to
purchase 200,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer in connection with a
grant of options to all of the directors of the Issuer. The Option is
immediately exercisable and has an exercise price of $0.6875 per share. The
Option was not granted to Mr. Shea in exchange for any "funds or other
consideration."

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     JFSCI purchased the 851,250 units of securities of the Issuer, with each
unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and two Warrants (for a total of
851,250 shares of Common Stock and 1,702,500 Warrants) for the purpose of
obtaining an equity interest in the Issuer.

     Mr. Edmund Shea, the Trust, Siam and JFSCI exercised the Rights distributed
to them for the purpose of increasing their respective equity interests in the
Issuer and preventing the dilution of such interests as a result of the
consummation of the Rights Offering.

     Mr. Edmund Shea did not acquire the Option to purchase 200,000 shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer for any particular purpose because the Option was
granted to him as compensation for serving as a director of the Issuer in
connection with a grant of options to all of the directors of the Issuer.

         The Reporting Persons acquired the securities for investment. Depending
upon market conditions and other factors, the Reporting Persons may acquire
additional securities of the Issuer, in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise. The Reporting Persons are currently having
discussions with the Issuer regarding a potential privately negotiated
acquisition of securities. Alternatively, depending upon market conditions and
other factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, dispose of some or
all of the securities of the Issuer.

         Although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop plans or
proposals in the future with respect to the following items, except as set forth
above at the present time they have no plans or proposals that relate to or
would result in any of the following:


        (a)    the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
               Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

        (b)    an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
               reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its
               subsidiaries;

        (c)    a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer
               or any of its subsidiaries;

        (d)    any change in the present board of directors or management of the
               Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or
               term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

        (e)    any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
               policy of the Issuer;

        (f)    any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate
               structure;

        (g)    changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
               corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
               acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

        (h)    causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
               national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
               quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
               national securities association;
<PAGE>   10


        (i)    a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
               termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

        (j)    any action similar to any of those enumerated in (a) through (i)
               above.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

        (a)    As of January 9, 1998, JFSCI held and beneficially owned
               6,820,594 shares of Common Stock, which represented approximately
               14.39% of the sum of the 45,696,398 shares of Common Stock then
               outstanding and the 1,702,500 Warrants held by JFSCI. As of
               January 9, 1998, Mr. Edmund Shea beneficially owned a total of
               455,000 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Edmund Shea, Mr. Peter Shea,
               Mr. John Shea and Mr. James Shontere be deemed to be the
               beneficial owner of the 6,820,594 shares of Common Stock owned by
               JFSCI by virtue of his stock ownership in JFSCI and his position
               as a director and executive officer of JFSCI. The 7,275,594
               shares of Common Stock Mr. Edmund Shea may be deemed to
               beneficially own represents approximately 15.29% of the sum of
               the 45,696,398 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January
               9, 1998, the 1,702,500 Warrants held by JFSCI, and the Option for
               200,000 shares held by Mr. Edmund Shea. Of the 7,275,594 shares
               of Common Stock Mr. Edmund Shea may be deemed to beneficially own
               as of January 9, 1998, 6,820,594 shares (including 1,702,500
               Warrants) are held by JFSCI, of which Mr. Edmund Shea is a
               director, executive officer and stockholder, 200,000 shares are
               held by Mr. Edmund Shea in the form of an immediately exercisable
               option, 90,000 shares are held by the Trust, of which Mr. Edmund
               Shea is a trustee, and 90,000 shares are held by Siam, of which
               the Trust is the general partner. Mr. Edmund Shea disclaims
               beneficial ownership of the shares held by Siam, except to the
               extent of the Trust's interest in Siam. The Trust has a 4.97%
               interest in Siam.

        (b)    As of January 9, 1998, Mr. Edmund Shea's and JFSCI's power to 
               vote or dispose of the shares of Common Stock reported as being
               beneficially owned by him or it was as follows:

</TABLE>

        Of the 7,275,594 shares of Common Stock Mr. Edmund Shea may be deemed to
beneficially own as of January 9, 1998, Mr. Shea shares voting and dispositive
power with respect to the 6,820,594 shares (including 1,702,500 Warrants) held
by JFSCI with the other stockholders of JFSCI. Mr. Edmund Shea is a director,
executive officer and stockholder of JFSCI. For information regarding JFSCI, see
Item 2 above.

        Mr. Edmund Shea also shares voting and dispositive power with respect to
the 90,000 shares held by Siam with the other partners of Siam. Siam is a
California limited partnership with its principal business and principal office
at 655 Brea Canyon Road, Walnut, California 91789. Siam's principal business
consists of investment activities. During the last five years, neither Siam nor
any of its partners has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding
traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). During the last five years, neither
Siam nor any of its partners has been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and therefore was not
and is not subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws as a
result of any such proceeding.

        Because voting and investment decisions with respect to the securities
held by JFSCI may be made by or in conjunction with the other Reporting Persons,
the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case each
Reporting Person would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of
6,820,594 shares of the Common Stock. As a shareholder, director and executive
officer of JFSCI, each of John F. Shea, Edmund H. Shea, Jr. and Peter O. Shea
might be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities beneficially owned
by JFSCI. Although each such person is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting
Person, the filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that
he or any of the other shareholders, directors or executive officers of JFSCI
is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that are
beneficially owned by JFSCI.

        (c) The Reporting Persons did not effect any transactions other than
            those set forth in Items 3 and 4 above.

        (d) Not applicable.

        (e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
        Securities of the Issuer.

        None of the Reporting Persons is a party to any contract, arrangement,
understanding or relationship with respect to any securities of the Issuer,
including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any securities of the
Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.

Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.

        The following material is filed as an Exhibit to this Schedule 13D:

           1.     Joint Filing Agreement, dated February 9, 1998, between Edmund
