The registrant hereby amends the following items, financial 
statements, exhibits or other portions of its Annual Report on 
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, which was filed 
with the Commission on March 29, 1996:


Part I, Item 8:
- --------------

Note 2 to the Financial Statements filed as Item 8 is hereby 
amended to read as follows:

2.      Acquisition of American Marketing Works

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated October 6, 1994, as 
subsequently amended (as so amended, the "Purchase Agreement"), 
the Company acquired, as of November 22, 1994, all of the 
outstanding capital stock of AMW from Kidd, Kamm Equity Partners, 
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("KKEP"), MW Holdings, L.P., 
a California limited partnership ("MWH"), Marvin Winkler, Sherri 
Winkler and certain investment companies (collectively, the "AMW 
Shareholders"), in exchange for 1,400,000 shares of the Company's 
Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "AMW Acquisition").

Included in the 1,400,000 shares were 150,000 unvested shares and 
150,000 shares subject to being returned to the Company.  These 
300,000 shares became fully vested (and nonreturnable) in 1995.  
An Amendment to the Purchase Agreement provided for the issuance 
of an additional 10,000 shares of Common Stock to certain of the 
AMW Shareholders in further consideration of the sale of their 
entire equity interest in the Company.

The shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in connection 
with the AMW Acquisition were issued as unregistered, restricted 
shares of stock pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.  As an additional inducement 
to the AMW Shareholders to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the 
Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated 
November 22, 1994 with KKEP as "nominee" for all of the AMW 
Shareholders (other than Marvin Winkler and Sherri Winkler, who 
did not receive any shares) under a separate agreement between 
KKEP and such shareholders.  The Registration Rights Agreement 
effectively granted KKEP (as "Holder," as defined therein, of a 
majority of the "Registrable Securities" issued in the AMW 
Acquisition) the right to require the Company, upon written 
notice given anytime within two years after November 22, 1994, to 
effect one registration of all "Registrable Securities" issued in 
the AMW Acquisition for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as 
amended.

On November 30, 1994, KKEP, in its capacity as nominee for the 
AMW Shareholders, notified the Company of its exercise of the 
demand registration rights.  In accordance with the terms of the 
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company requested, as a matter 
of right, an initial delay of up to 180 days in the registration 

<PAGE>

of shares pursuant to such notice.  KKEP has subsequently 
notified the Company that it believes that it is now entitled to 
have its shares registered pursuant to the Registration Rights 
Agreement, and that it regards the Company as being in default 
under that agreement.  KKEP has not commenced any litigation 
regarding its purported claims under the Registration Rights 
Agreement, and the Company intends to vigorously defend itself 
against any claim that it is required to register such stock at 
this time.

In connection with the AMW Acquisition, the Company agreed with 
the other parties to the Purchase Agreement that (i) a 
subordinated promissory note of AMW in the principal amount of 
$1,560,000 from MWH and (ii) a subordinated promissory note of 
AMW in the principal amount of $750,000 from Marvin Winkler 
(president of the general partner of MWH as well as former 
Chairman and CEO of AMW) and his wife, Sherri Winkler 
(collectively, the "Subordinated Notes") would be amended and 
restated in principal amounts equal to the outstanding principal 
plus accrued and unpaid interest on each of the Subordinated 
Notes as of November 22, 1994 (totaling $1,635,400 and $798,300) 
(said amended and restated notes, collectively, the "Purchase 
Notes").  In 1995 the Company entered into an agreement with 
Marvin and Sherri Winkler and MW Holdings whereby the Purchase 
Notes were converted into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

The AMW acquisition was accounted for as a purchase in accordance 
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, and accordingly, 
the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair values as of the 
acquisition date.  The net excess of the cost over the estimated 
fair values of the acquired net assets as a result of the 
acquisition was allocated to goodwill.

The results of operations of AMW are included in the accompanying 
financial statements from the date of acquisition.  The following 
summarized unaudited pro forma financial information gives effect 
to the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1 of each 
period and has been prepared for comparative purposes only.  The 
information does not purport to be indicative of the results of 
operations had the transaction been in effect on the date 
indicated or which may occur in the future:
