On December 9, 1997, the OCM Principal Fund sold 22,355 shares of Common 
Stock.  On December 9, 1997, TCW Special Credits Fund V - The Principal Fund, 
a California limited partnership, sold 107,645 shares of Common Stock which 
Oaktree managed pursuant to a subadvisory agreement.  The investment strategy 
of the OCM Principal Fund is to invest in entities in which there is a

control, and consequently, Oaktree has indicated to the Issuer that it may 
purchase additional shares, but has made no proposals and has entered into no 
agreements which relate to or would result in any of the matters described in 
Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, as part of its ongoing review of

considering such matters in the future or formulating a plan with respect to 
such matters, subject to applicable law, and, from time to time, Oaktree may 
hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of 
Directors of the Issuer, other stockholders of the Issuer or other third 
parties regarding such matters.  Based on continuing evaluation of the 
Issuer's businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and 
all other factors deemed relevant, additional shares of the Issuer's Common 
Stock may be acquired in the open market or in privately negotiated 
transactions, or some or all of the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock may 
be sold.

ITEM 5. INTEREST AND SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

As of the date of this Schedule 13D, the OCM Principal Fund beneficially owns,

held by the OCM Principal Fund.

  (c) Except for the sales by the OCM Principal Fund described herein,
