Item 2.  Identity and Background

         Item 2 (a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read as follows:

         (a) This  statement is filed by the Reporting  Person,  with respect to
379,300 Shares over which the Reporting  Person has sole  dispositive and voting
power by reason of serving as the  investment  advisor to (i) AJR  International
(BVI)  Inc.,  a British  Virgin  Islands  company  ("AJR"),  (ii) Quest  Capital
Partners,  L.P., a Delaware limited partnership  ("Quest") and (iii) the Managed
Accounts.  Mr. Alexander J. Roepers serves as the president and sole shareholder
of the Reporting Person and the general partner of Quest.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         The Shares  purchased by the Reporting  Person on behalf of AJR,  Quest
and the Managed  Accounts were  purchased  with the  investment  capital of such
entities. The aggregate amount of funds used in making the purchases reported on
this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D was approximately $595,145.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

         Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read as follows:

         The Reporting Person acquired,  on behalf of AJR, Quest and the Managed
Accounts,  and  continues  to hold the Shares  reported  herein  for  investment
purposes. The Reporting Person intends to evaluate the performance of the Shares
as an  investment  in the ordinary  course of  business.  The  Reporting  Person
pursues an investment  objective  that seeks capital  appreciation.  In pursuing
this investment objective, the Reporting Person analyzes the operations, capital
structure  and markets of  companies  in which the  Reporting  Person's  clients
invest,  including  the  Issuer,  on a  continuous  basis  through  analysis  of
documentation and discussions with  knowledgeable  industry and market observers
and with representatives of such companies.

         The Reporting Person will  continuously  assess the Issuer's  business,
financial  condition,  results of operations  and  prospects,  general  economic
conditions,  the  securities  markets  in  general  and those for the  Shares in
particular, other developments and other investment opportunities.  Depending on

<PAGE>

such  assessments,  the Reporting  Person may acquire  additional  Shares or may
determine  to sell or otherwise  dispose of all or some of the Shares  presently
held by AJR,  Quest and the  Managed  Accounts  in the open market or in private
transactions.  Such  actions  will depend upon a variety of factors,  including,
without  limitation,  current  and  anticipated  future  trading  prices for the
Shares,  the financial  condition,  results of  operations  and prospects of the
Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic, financial market
and industry  conditions  and other factors that the  Reporting  Person may deem
material to its investment decision.

         In its capacity as a shareholder,  the Reporting Person has in the past
and will continue in the future to have active  discussions  with the management
of both  the  Issuer  and the  Issuer's  largest  shareholder,  Kennametal  Inc.
("Kennametal"),  with respect to (i) the  strategic  direction of the Issuer and
actions  which  might  be  taken by the  management  of  either  the  Issuer  or
Kennametal to maximize  shareholder  value of the Issuer and (ii)  improving the
Issuer's  investor  relations.  In  addition,  the  Reporting  Person  may  hold
discussions  with other parties who might engage in shareholder  value enhancing
activities for the benefit of all of the Issuer's shareholders.  There can be no
assurance  that the Reporting  Person will take any of the actions  described in
the  previous  sentence.  The  Reporting  Person  is  also  one of  the  largest
institutional shareholders of Kennametal.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Item 5 is hereby amended to read as follows:

         (a) Based upon the  information  contained  in the  Issuer's  Quarterly

2000.

         (b)  The  Reporting  Person  does  not  directly  own any  Shares.  The
Reporting Person has entered into an investment  advisory agreement with each of
AJR, Quest and the Managed Accounts,  pursuant to which the Reporting Person has
investment  authority with respect to the  securities  held by each entity or in
each account.  This authority  includes the power to dispose of and the power to
vote the Shares.  By reason of the  provisions  of Rule 13d-3 of the  Securities

<PAGE>

Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended,  the  Reporting  Person is deemed to be the
beneficial owner of the Shares held by such entities. Accordingly, the Reporting

outstanding Shares.

         (c) The  following  table  details the  transactions  by the  Reporting
