ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         (a) This  Schedule is being filed  jointly by the  following  reporting
persons  (hereinafter  sometimes  collectively  referred  to as  the  "Reporting
Persons") pursuant to an Agreement of Joint Filing attached hereto as Exhibit A:

         (b), (c) and (f) Each of the Reporting  Persons has a business  address
of 230 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10169.

company,  the  principal  business of which is to act as General  Partner of LEG
Partners III SBIC, L.P.

         Lawrence E. Golub is a United States  citizen  residing in the State of
New York,  whose principal  occupation is acting as the Managing Member of Golub
PS-GP,  LLC, the General  Partner of LEG Partners III SBIC,  L.P. Mr. Golub also
may be deemed to a controlling  person of certain other private investment funds
and managed  accounts  which as of the date hereof do not  beneficially  own any
shares of the Issuer  other than as a result,  in  certain  cases,  of direct or
indirect  ownership of limited  partnership  interests in LEG Partners III SBIC,

- ---------------------                                             ---  ----

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

         As previously  disclosed,  affiliates of the Reporting  Persons entered
into an Agreement and Plan of  Recapitalization  and Merger with the Issuer (the
"Merger  Agreement"),  pursuant to which such  affiliates  agreed to acquire all
outstanding  equity of the  Company.  Such  Merger  Agreement  was  subsequently
terminated  because certain conditions could not be satisfied on a timely basis.
The Reporting  Persons have since discussed  alternative  transactions  with the
Company,  which discussions have not resulted in any additional  agreement.  The
Reporting Persons do not currently have any proposal or offer outstanding to the
Company that would  result in the  acquisition  of the Company by the  Reporting
Persons..

         The Reporting Persons intend to continue to evaluate  investment in the
Issuer and may in the future  discuss  with the Issuer  agreements  which  could
result in additional purchases of the Issuer's equity securities,  or securities
convertible into its Common Stock, changes in the Issuer's Board of Directors or
management,  the sale or  recapitalization  of the Issuer, or other transactions
which could  result in a  substantial  change in the  ownership,  management  or
capitalization of the Issuer. Based upon such discussions, the Reporting Persons
may  take  other  steps,  change  their  intentions  as  stated  above,  acquire
additional  securities of the Issuer,  or dispose of securities of the Issuer in
the open market or pursuant to private transactions.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a) The beneficial ownership of each of the Reporting Persons of Common
Stock of the Issuer as of the date hereof is as follows:

         (i)      LEG Partners III SBIC, L.P. is the beneficial owner of 602,689
                  shares of Common Stock, all of which were acquired directly in
                  a privately negotiated transaction. The total number of shares
                  of Common Stock  beneficially  owned by LEG Partners III SBIC,
                  L.P.   represents   13.84%  of  the  shares  of  Common  Stock
                  outstanding.

         (ii)     Golub PS-GP,  LLC is the beneficial  owner of shares of Common
                  Stock of the Issuer solely as General  Partner of LEG Partners

                  Common  Stock of the  Issuer  solely for its own  account.  By
                  reason of its interest as General  Partner of LEG Partners III
                  SBIC,  L.P.,  Golub  PS-GP,  LLC may be deemed to have  shared
                  voting and dispositive  power over the 602,689 shares (13.84%)
                  of  Common  Stock  of the  Issuer  beneficially  owned by such
