Capricorn  II  and  Capricorn  Holdings, LLC  with  respect  to  the  number  of
outstanding  shares of Common  Stock is based on  information  provided  to such
persons by the Company on January 6, 1998.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

   
         The  information  previously  furnished  in  response  to this  item is
amended to read as follows:

         Capricorn  I  acquired  421,844  shares  of  Common  Stock in the Share
Distribution on December 8, 1997. It distributed all such shares to its partners
on December  22,  1997.  Winokur  Holdings,  as a general  partner of  Capricorn

shares of Common Stock in such distribution.

         Pursuant to the  Purchase  Agreement,  Capricorn  II  acquired  546,448
shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $9.15 per share,  or $5,000,000 in

acquired by Capricorn I in the Share Distribution.

         At the closing of the  Acquisition  on December 8, 1997,  (the "CLOSING
DATE"),  the Company  and  Capricorn  II entered  into the  Registration  Rights
Agreement  pursuant to which,  among other  things,  Capricorn  II will have the
right on one or more occasions (subject to certain  exceptions,  up to a maximum
of seven  times) to cause the  Company,  on or after the Closing Date and to and
including  the date that is the  fourth  anniversary  of the  Closing  Date,  to
register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  the sale by Capricorn II
