Pharm Fund is approximately $197,498, $260,602, $45,815, $133,896, and
$343,928, respectively.
      The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of

family, is approximately $59,188.
      The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of

family, is approximately $196,458.
      The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of
Common Stock owned directly by Mr. Ketcher, and by members of his immediate
family, is approximately $38,250.
      The net investment cost (excluding commissions, if any) of the shares of

      The shares of Common Stock purchased by each of EGS Associates, EGS

Partners (excluding EGS Overseas), EGS Overseas, Bev Partners, and Pharm Fund

Partners, in margin and non-margin accounts held by each discretionary account
under its management.  Such margin accounts are maintained at Bear Stearns &
Co. Inc., and may from time to time have debit balances.  Non-margin accounts
are maintained at Bankers Trust Company.   Since other securities are held in
such margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
      
      The purpose of the acquisition of the shares of the Common Stock by the
Reporting Persons was for investment.  The Reporting Persons have recently
disposed of and each may in the future dispose of any and all of the shares of
the Common Stock held by it or him at any time, or acquire other shares.
      None of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate
to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (b)
through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Such entities and persons
may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position
with respect to the Company, and formulate plans or proposals with respect to
any of such matters, but have no present intention of doing so.




ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 

      (a)  The approximate aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock
reported beneficially owned by each person herein is based on 7,502,939 shares
outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of March 31, 1995, as reflected in the company's quarterly report on Form
10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") for
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1995 (which is the most recent Form 10-Q on
file).

      As of the close of business on August 8, 1995:

           (i)   EGS Associates owns beneficially 76,913 shares of Common
Stock, constituting approximately 1.02% of the shares outstanding.
           (ii)  EGS Partners owns directly no shares of Common Stock.  By
reason of the provisions of Rule 13D-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Act"), EGS Partners may be deemed to own beneficially 98,127
shares (constituting approximately 1.31% of the shares outstanding), purchased
for discretionary accounts managed by it, other than EGS Overseas, and 24,538
shares of Common Stock purchased for EGS Overseas (less than 1% of the shares

constituting approximately 1.63% of the shares outstanding.
           (iii) Bev Partners owns beneficially 62,159 shares of Common
Stock, constituting less than 1% of the shares outstanding.
           (iv)  Pharm Fund owns 137,763 shares of Common Stock, constituting
approximately 1.84% of the shares outstanding.

ownership by members of his immediate family, 19,000 shares of Common Stock.
           (viii)      Mr. Gerstl owns directly 5,000 shares of Common Stock.
           By reason of the provisions of Rule 13D-3 of the Act, each of the
General Partners may be deemed to own the 76,913 shares beneficially owned by
EGS Associates, the 122,665 shares beneficially owned by EGS Partners, the
62,159 shares beneficially owned by Bev Partners and the 137,763 shares
beneficially owned by Pharm Fund.  When the shares beneficially owned by EGS
Associates, EGS Partners, Bev Partners, and Pharm Fund are aggregated, they
total 399,500 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 5.32% of the
shares outstanding.
           (viii)      In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially
own a total of 515,700 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately
6.87% of the shares outstanding.

           (b)   (i)   Each of EGS Associates, EGS Partners (with respect to
shares of EGS Overseas and other discretionary accounts), Bev Partners and
Pharm Fund has the power to vote and to dispose of the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by it, which power may be exercised by the General
Partners.  Each of EGS Overseas and the discretionary accounts is a party to
an investment management agreement with EGS Partners pursuant to which EGS
Partners has investment authority with respect to securities held in such
account.
                 (ii)  Each General Partner has the sole power to vote and
dispose of the shares owned directly by him.  Messrs. Ehrman and Greenberg
have shared power to vote and dispose of shares owned by members of their
immediate family.  Mr. Gerstl has shared power to vote and dispose of shares
owned jointly with members of his immediate family.

           (c)   The trading dates, number of shares of Common Stock
purchased or sold and price per share for all transactions in the Common Stock
from the 60th day prior to August 7, 1995 until August 8, 1995 by EGS
Associates, EGS Partners (excluding EGS Overseas), EGS Overseas, Pharm Fund,
Bev Partners, Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Ehrman, are set forth in Schedules A, B,
C, D,  E, F and G, respectively, and were all effected in the over-the-counter
market or on the Pacific Stock Exchange.  During such period, Messrs. Gerstl,

           (d)   No person other than each respective record owner referred
to herein of shares of Common Stock is known to have the right to receive or
the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds of sale of
such shares of Common Stock.
