herein as being  acquired  since July 10,  2000 (the date of the last  filing on
Schedule 13D).

                  Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                  As explained in Item 6 below,  it is not possible to determine
at this time the precise number of Shares that may be deemed to be  beneficially
owned by each of the Reporting  Persons because the particular  number of Shares
of which each of the Reporting  Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
by virtue of the Securities  Purchase  Agreement  (defined below) is not finally
determined.  Accordingly, the Reporting Persons will further amend this Schedule
13D when the number of Shares and ownership percentages are determined.

                  Except for the transactions  described in Item 6 below, all of
which were  effected in privately  negotiated  transactions,  there have been no
transactions  effected  with respect to the Shares since July 10, 2000 (the date
of the last filing on Schedule 13D) by any of the Reporting Persons.

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

                  On August 18, 2000, QIP and SFM Domestic  Investments  entered
