     The subject securities were acquired and continue to be held by the
Reporting Persons for investment purposes.  Each reserves the right to acquire
or dispose of the subject securities.  On August 28, 1996 representatives of
Clover met with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company and recommended that the Chief Executive Officer be replaced because
in Clover s opinion (1) the Company s credibility in the investment community
has suffered because of earnings forecasts made by the Chief Executive Officer
that have failed to materialize, (2) the Company s performance has been and
continues to be inferior to the Company s competitors, (3) certain of the
Company s fundamental business strategies are flawed and (4) the Company has
not provided a credible strategy as to how it will maximize shareholder value.

     In the future, Clover may present specific business strategies to the
Board of Directors or otherwise provide advice regarding the business of the
Company and possible ways to maximize shareholder value. 

     Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no present
plan or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the actions
specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          (a)  The aggregate number and percentage of the subject securities
          beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is as follows:
          
          Name                       No. of Shares    Percentage
          ----                       -------------    ----------

   Charles W. Ruff                         1,000         0.006


     (b)  As investment adviser to the client accounts owning the subject
     securities, Clover shares the voting and dispositive power with the
     account owner of each account.  As directors of Clover, Messrs. Jones,
     Rosenberger and Ruff share the voting and dispositive powers with Clover.

     In addition, Mr. Ruff holds shared voting and dispositive power with
     respect to the subject securities beneficially owned by him (other than
     indirectly through Clover). <PAGE>
