                                 AMENDMENT NO. 2
                                       TO
                           STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D
                             PURSUANT TO RULE 13D-1
                                    UNDER THE
                   SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED


The  undersigned  hereby amend Items 2, 4 and 5 of the Statement on Schedule 13D
filed  on  their  behalf  for the  event,  dated  December  16,  1999,  with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Unless  otherwise  indicated,  capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise  defined shall have the meaning  ascribed to
them in such previously filed Statement on Schedule 13D.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2 is amended by deleting paragraph (b) (regarding MV, Inc.), (h) (regarding
Robin L. Farkas) and the last paragraph.  The last paragraph  should be replaced
with the following:

         AF,  MSD,  MAG,  the  Related   Limited   Partnership  and  F  III  are
collectively  referred to herein as the "Reporting  Persons." The Report Persons
constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.  None of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in a
criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic  violations  or similar  misdemeanors)
during the past five years. None of the Reporting Persons was a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent  jurisdiction,  the
result of which was or is 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
during the past five years.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 is amended by replacing the first paragraph with the following:

In January 1999, the Related Limited  Partnership  transferred 117,504 shares of
Common Stock to RF, a general partner of the Related Limited  Partnership.  As a
result of such transfer,  RF has no interest in the remaining  117,504 shares of
Common Stock held by the Related  Limited  Partnership and RF has ceased to be a
Reporting Person or a member of the AF reporting group.

Effective  December  16,  1999,  AF and his wife were  divorced.  As part of the
divorce settlement,  AF transferred to his ex-wife all of the stock of MV, which
owned shares of Common Stock,  and 155,114  shares of Common Stock owned by MSD.
Mr.  Farkas'  ex-wife  received a beneficial  interest in 50% of AF's options to
purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock. In addition,  Mr. Farkas's ex-wife has a
right to  receive a portion  of the  proceeds  from the sale of  certain  of the
shares of Common Stock owned by AF, under certain circumstances.  As a result of
such  transfer,  AF has no interest in the shares of Common Stock held by MV and
MV has ceased to be a Reporting  Person or a member of the AF  reporting  group.
