Item 2.  Identity and Background.

                  The  business  of SFM  LLC is  managed  through  a  Management
Committee (the "Management Committee") comprised of Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller
and Mr. Duncan Hennes. Set forth in Annex A hereto and incorporated by reference
in response to this Item 2 and  elsewhere in this  Schedule 13D as applicable is
an updated list of the Managing Directors of SFM LLC.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

                  On January 24, 2000, QIP acquired from the Issuer, in exchange
for the surrender of the Exchange Note and the $500,000 Note,  2,500,000  Shares
(the  "Exchange").  In addition,  simultaneous  with the Exchange,  QIP acquired
1,000,000 Shares from the Issuer for $1,000,000.

                  The Shares  held for the  account  of QIP may be held  through
margin accounts maintained with brokers,  which extend margin credit as and when
required  to open or  carry  positions  in their  margin  accounts,  subject  to
applicable  federal  margin  regulations,  stock  exchange rules and such firms'
credit policies. The Shares which may be held in the margin accounts are pledged
as  collateral  security for the repayment of debit  balances in the  respective
accounts.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

                  All of the Shares  reported herein as having been acquired for
the account of QIP were acquired for investment purposes.  Neither the Reporting
Persons  nor,  to the  best of their  knowledge,  any of the  other  individuals
identified  in response to Item 2, has any plans or proposals  that relate to or
would result in any of the transactions  described in subparagraphs  (a) through
(j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

                  Mr. Soros, Mr.  Druckenmiller and SFM LLC reserve the right to
acquire,  or cause to be  acquired,  additional  securities  of the  Issuer,  to
dispose,  or cause to be disposed,  such  securities at any time or to formulate
other  purposes,  plans  or  proposals  regarding  the  Issuer  or  any  of  its
securities,  to the extent deemed  advisable in light of general  investment and
trading  policies  of the  Reporting  Persons  and/or  the SFM  Clients,  market
conditions or other factors.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a) Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed the beneficial
owner of the 4,570,000 Shares held for the account of QIP (approximately  43.76%
of the total number of Shares outstanding).

                  (b) (i) Each of QIP,  QIHMI,  QIH  Management  and SFM LLC (by
virtue of the QIP  Contract)  may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the
voting and disposition of the 4,570,000 Shares held for the account of QIP.

                           (ii)     Each of Mr. Soros and Mr. Druckenmiller,  as
a result of their  positions with SFM LLC, may be deemed to have shared power to
direct the voting and  disposition of the 4,570,000  Shares held for the account
of QIP.

                  (c) Except for the transactions  described in Item 3 (which is
incorporated  into  this  Item  5 by  reference)  hereto,  there  have  been  no
transactions with respect to the Shares since December 2, 1999 (60 days prior to
the date hereof) by any of the Reporting Persons.

                  (d) The  shareholders  of QIP,  including  Quantum  Industrial
Holdings,  Ltd., a British Virgin Islands  international  business company, have
the right to participate in the receipt of dividends  from, or proceeds from the
sale of,  the  Shares  held for the  account  of QIP in  accordance  with  their
ownership interests in QIP.

                  (e) Not applicable.

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

                  From time to time each of the Reporting Persons and/or the SFM
Clients  may lend  portfolio  securities  to brokers,  banks or other  financial
institutions.  These  loans  typically  obligate  the  borrower  to  return  the
securities,  or an equal amount of securities  of the same class,  to the lender
and  typically  provide that the borrower is entitled to exercise  voting rights
and to retain  dividends  during the term of the loan.  From time to time to the
extent  permitted by applicable law, each of such persons or entities may borrow
the  Shares  for  the  purpose  of  effecting,   and  may  effect,   short  sale
transactions,  and may purchase  securities for the purpose of closing out short
positions in such securities.

                  On  March 5,  1998,  Robert  Soros,  an  employee  of SFM LLC,
resigned  as a Director of the Issuer.  It is  expected  that Robert  Soros will
serve as an observer to the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

                  This Item 7 is not applicable.
