Item 5    Interest in Securities of the Issuer
======    ====================================
  
          Items 5 (a), (b), (c) and (e) of the Original Schedule 13D are amended
          and restated to read as follows:

         (a)      Number  and Percent of Shares Beneficially Owned by Person 
                  ----------------------------------------------------------
                  Filing This Statement.
                  ---------------------

                  Lodestone  Capital is the record  holder of 83,000  shares of
                  Common  Stock.  Lodestone  Partners  is  managed by a Board of
                  Managers composed of John Ward Rotter and Michael  Fitzsimmons
                  ("Fitzsimmons"),   who  is  the  other   member  of  Lodestone
                  Partners.  Based on the  number  of  shares  of  Common  Stock
                  outstanding  as of March 22, 1999,  Michael Fitzsimmons may be
                  deemed  to  beneficially  own  with  Mr.  Rotter  2.5%  of the
                  outstanding  Common Stock.  Pursuant to the Lodestone Partners
                  Operating   Agreement   between   Echelon   and   Fitzsimmons,
                  Fitzsimmons  has sole  investment  power  with  respect to the
                  investments of Lodestone Capital.  The Operating Agreement is,
                  however, silent on the subject of voting power with respect to
                  securities held by Lodestone Capital.  Therefore,  Fitzsimmons
                  may also be deemed to share voting power with Mr.  Rotter with
                  respect to securities held by Lodestone Capital.
