AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO SCHEDULE 13D
John Sfondrini ("Mr. Sfondrini"), Napamco, Ltd., a Connecticut
corporation ("Connecticut Napamco"), Napamco, Ltd., a New York corporation ("New
York Napamco" and together with Connecticut Napamco, "Napamco"), Edge Holding
Company Partnership, a Connecticut limited partnership ("Edge Holding Company"),
Edge Group Partnership, a Connecticut general partnership ("Edge Group"), Edge I
Limited Partnership, a Connecticut limited partnership ("Edge I"), Edge II
Limited Partnership, a Connecticut limited partnership ("Edge II"), and Edge III
Limited Partnership, a Connecticut limited partnership ("Edge III" and
collectively with Mr. Sfondrini, Connecticut Napamco, New York Napamco, Edge
Holding Company, Edge Group, Edge I and Edge II, the "Sfondrini Parties"),
hereby amends and supplements their statement on Schedule 13D as originally
filed by the Sfondrini Parties on March 13, 1997 (the "Original Statement"),
with respect to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),
of Edge Petroleum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). Unless
otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall
have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Statement.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Original Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:
The Original Statement had provided in part that " . . . , it is possible that
the Sfondrini Parties could seek to acquire additional shares, although they
have no current plans to do so, other than through employee benefit plans or
arrangements with the Company." Particularly in light of recent

fluctuations in trading prices of the common stock, Mr. Sfondrini or Napamco or
both may, depending on the market price of the Common Stock in the future, seek
to acquire additional shares of Common Stock. The number of shares sought to be
acquired, if any, is not currently expected to materially change the overall
shareholdings of Mr. Sfondrini and Napamco; however, the actual number of shares
acquired, if any, will be subject to, among other things, market conditions as
they exist from time to time as well as other factors described in the Original
Statement. Mr. Sfondrini and Napamco may also seek to take any other action
described in the Original Statement.
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of their knowledge and
belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement
is true, complete and correct.
Date: August 25, 1997.
