     ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER  
     CONSIDERATION.   
        
              Prior to July 14, 1995, Abel-Behnke Corporation,
     a Hawaii corporation, and a broker-dealer registered
     under section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
     owned 112,272 shares of the Issuer's Class A common  
     stock.  Abel-Behnke Corporation acquired these shares in
     the ordinary course of its business and without the
     purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control
     of the Issuer, nor was the acquisition in connection with
     or as a participant in any transaction having such
     purpose or effect.  Under Rule 13d-1(b), Mr. Behnke and
     Abel-Behnke Corporation were exempt from filing a
     Schedule 13D.   
        
              When these shares were distributed to Mr. Behnke 
     on August 1, 1995, Mr. Behnke became obligated to file 
     a Schedule 13D because he did not have the benefit of 
     Rule 13d-1(b).  Since there was no purchase, questions 
     posed by this Item regarding the source and amount of 
     funds used to make the purchase putting Mr. Behnke, the 
     Richard F. Behnke IRA, and R. B. Value Resources, Inc. 
     over the five percent threshold are not applicable.   
        
              Since Mr. Richardson does not hold more than 
     five percent of the Class A common stock of Issuer,  
     questions regarding the source of funding for purchases 
     putting Mr. Richardson over the five percent threshold 
     are not applicable.   
        
        
     ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.   
        
              The Filers and Mr. Richardson have no present 
     intention with respect to their shares of the Issuer's 
     Class A common stock other than to hold these shares for 
     investment purposes.   
        
        
     ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.   
        
              (a) & (b)  Richard F. Behnke owns 112,272 shares 
     of the Issuer's Class A common stock, which comprise 3.4% 
     of the Issuer's outstanding Class A common stock.  Mr.  
     Behnke has sole power to both vote and dispose of these 
     shares.   
        
              The Richard F. Behnke IRA owns 54,725 shares of 
     the Issuer's Class A common stock, which comprise 1.7% 
     of the Issuer's outstanding Class A common stock.  The 
     Richard F. Behnke IRA has sole power to both vote and 
     dispose of these shares.   
        
              R. B. Value Resources, Inc. owns 51,426 shares 
     of the Issuer's Class A common stock, which comprise 1.6% 
     of the Issuer's outstanding Class A common stock.  R. B. 
     Value Resources, Inc. has sole power to both vote and 
     dispose of these shares.    
        
              Wade W. Richardson, through an IRA, owns about 
     78,250 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock, which 
     comprise about 2.3% of all outstanding shares.  Mr.  
     Richardson has sole power to both vote and dispose of 
     these shares.    
        
              (c)  On August 3, 1995 the Richard F. Behnke IRA 
     acquired 3,000 shares of the Issuer's Class A common  
     stock at $3.75 per share.  The purchase was over-   
     the-counter for cash.    
        
              (d)  No other person, other than those already 
     identified in this Item, has any rights relating to the 
     dividends or sale proceeds of the securities which are 
     the subject of this schedule.   
        
        
     ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR  
     RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. 
     
      
              Mr. Behnke controls the Richard F. Behnke IRA
     and is the sole director and shareholder of R. B. Value
     Resources, Inc.   
        
              There are no other contracts, arrangements,  
     understandings, or relationships involving persons listed 
     in Item 2 relating to the Issuer's Class A common stock. 
      
        
        
     ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.   
        
              A copy of the written agreement relating to the 
     filing of joint acquisition statements as required by 
     Rule 13d-1(f) is attached as Exhibit 1.   
        
              No copies of written agreements, contracts,  
     arrangements, understandings, plans or proposals relating 
     to items addressed in Item 3, Item 4, and Item 6 are   
          attached because no such documents exist. <PAGE>
