         Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:

         Pursuant to an amendment to the Letter Agreement dated November 6,
1997, paragraph (e)(i) of the Letter Agreement was amended so that the earliest
possible date on which Ballantrae could convert the Preferred Shares and
distribute such Preferred Shares to Ballantrae's limited partners (the "Limited

1997, but not earlier than November 11, 1997." Such amendment to the Letter
Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit J.

         Pursuant to the Letter Agreement and amendment thereto, Ballantrae
converted its Preferred Shares and on December 16, 1997 distributed the
2,132,500 shares of Common Stock received thereby to the Limited Partner

outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of October 31, 1997, as reported by the Company in its Form 10-Q for the

              (i) Ballantrae and RLR currently own no Preferred Shares and no
         Common Stock.

         or 1.1% of the Common Stock outstanding. Mr. Roth beneficially owns
         60,647 shares of Common Stock or 0.6% of the Common Stock outstanding.
         Mr. Rosen beneficially owns 496,895 shares of Common Stock or 5.1% of
         the Common Stock outstanding.

         (b) Messrs. O'Bryan, Roth and Rosen each have sole voting power and
power to dispose, or direct the disposition of, their respective shares of
Common Stock.

         (c) Other than as set forth herein, there were no transactions in the
Common Stock or the Preferred Shares effected by the Reporting Persons within
the 60-day period prior to the date of this filing.

         (d) No person other than each respective owner referred to herein of

         (e) Except for Mr. Rosen, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the

required by Rule 13d-1(f)(1) of the Exchange Act.
