                        STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1

                      OF THE GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS

              UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED



             This statement is being filed on behalf of Apollo FG Partners,
   L.P. ("AFG").  This Amendment No. 7 supplements and amends the Statement on
   Schedule on 13D filed on November 30, 1994 (as heretofore amended and
   supplemented, the "Schedule 13D").  Capitalized terms used herein which are
   not otherwise defined are so used with the respective meanings ascribed to
   them in the Schedule 13D.

   Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
             -------------------------------------------------
             Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following immediately
   prior to the last paragraph thereof:

                  On December 21, 1994, AFG and Forum Holdings entered into an
             agreement (the "Warrant Purchase Agreement") to purchase from
             Citicorp USA, Inc. ("Citicorp") (i) 550,205 warrants (the
             "Warrants") issued by the Company pursuant to a Warrant
             Agreement, dated as of June 10, 1993 (the "Warrant Agreement"),
             by and between the Company and Citicorp, entitling the registered
             holder thereof to purchase from the Company 1.00060393564 shares
             of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) per Warrant on the terms
             and subject to the conditions provided in the Warrant Agreement
             and (ii) 149,607 special warrants (the "Special Warrants") issued
             by the Company pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, entitling the
             registered holder thereof to purchase from the Company one share
             of Common Stock per Special Warrant on the terms and subject to
             the conditions provided in the Warrant Agreement.  The Warrants
             are exercisable at a purchase price equal to $3.37 per share
             (subject to adjustment), and the Special Warrants are exercisable
             at a nominal purchase price.

                  Pursuant to the Warrant Purchase Agreement, AFG individually
             agreed to purchase 275,103 Warrants entitling the registered
             holder thereof to purchase 275,269 shares of Common Stock and
             74,803 Special Warrants entitling the registered holder thereof
             to purchase from the Company an equal number of shares of Common
             Stock for $1,434,235.09.  The funds required by AFG for the
             transaction were obtained from working capital of AFG.  Pursuant
             to the Warrant Purchase Agreement, Forum Holdings agreed to
             purchase the remaining Warrants and Special Warrants from
             Citicorp.

   Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
             ----------------------
             Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following immediately
   prior to the last paragraph thereof:
<PAGE>
<PAGE>                                               PAGE 4 OF 12 PAGES

                  AFG's principal purpose for the purchase of Warrants and
             Special Warrants pursuant to the Warrant Purchase Agreement was
             to take advantage of what it perceived as an attractive
             investment opportunity pursuant to which it would be able to
             increase its equity interest in the Company.

   Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
             ------------------------------------
             Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

                  The responses to Items 3, 4 and 6 are incorporated herein by
             this reference.

                  AFG has previously been informed that 4,984 shares of Common
             Stock have been issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization
             since the closing of AFG's initial investment in shares of Common
             Stock.  As a result of the issuance of such shares, AFG and Forum
             Holdings are each presently entitled to purchase 2,880 shares of
             Common Stock for nominal consideration upon exercise of the
             Investor Warrants.  AFG has also been informed that immediately
             following transactions contemplated by the Warrant Purchase
             Agreement, Forum Holdings beneficially owned 8,769,847 shares of
             Common Stock (including (i) 2,880 shares presently purchasable
             upon exercise of the Investor Warrants, (ii) 275,268 shares
             presently purchasable upon exercise of Special Warrants), or
             37.6% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then
             outstanding.  Immediately following such transactions, AFG was
             the direct beneficial owner of 8,769,847 shares of Common Stock
             (including (i) 2,880 shares presently purchasable upon exercise
             of the Investor Warrant,  (ii) 275,269 shares presently
             purchasable upon exercise of Warrants, and (iii) 74,803 shares
             presently purchasable upon exercise of Special Warrants), or
             37.6% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then
             outstanding.  By reason of the relationships described in Item 2
             above, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the
             beneficial owners of all such shares beneficially owned by AFG. 
             As a result of the Shareholders' Agreement, AFG and each of the
             other Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
             of all of the 17,539,694 shares of Common Stock beneficially
             owned by AFG and Forum Holdings in the aggregate following the
             transactions contemplated by the Warrant Purchase Agreement, or
             75.2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then
             outstanding.  The foregoing percentages are based upon 23,331,509
             shares of Common Stock outstanding (which number includes (i) the
             5,760 shares presently issuable upon exercise of the Investor
             Warrants, (ii) the 550,537 shares presently issuable upon
             exercise of Warrants, and (iii) the 275,103 shares presently
             issuable upon exercise of Special Warrants).  (Reference is made
             to such statements on Schedule 13D as have been or may be filed
             with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Forum Holdings for
             information regarding Forum Holdings and its ownership of shares
             of Common Stock.)

                  As a result of provisions of the Shareholders' Agreement
             described in Item 6, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have
             shared power to vote or direct the vote of all 17,539,694 shares
             of Common Stock owned by AFG and Forum Holdings.  The Reporting
             Persons may have sole power to dispose or direct the disposition
             of 8,769,847 shares of Common Stock.

                  Except as otherwise disclosed in this Statement, as amended
             and supplemented, the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial 
             ownership of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise 
             of any Investor Warrants, Warrants or Special Warrants.

                  Except as otherwise disclosed in this Statement, as amended
             and supplemented, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any 
             transactions in shares of Common Stock during the preceding 
             60 days.

   Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
             With Respect to Securities of the Issuer                
             --------------------------------------------------------
             Item 6 is hereby amended by adding the following immediately
   prior to the last paragraph thereof:

                  Pursuant to the Warrant Purchase Agreement, Citicorp
             assigned its rights under the Warrant Agreement to Forum Holdings
             and AFG, and each of Forum Holdings and AFG has consented to and
             agreed to be bound by the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. 
             The Warrant Agreement provides for adjustments to the number and
             kind of securities issuable and the purchase price payable upon
             exercise of the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain events. 
             The Warrant Agreement also provides that holders of shares of
             Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants and the Special
             Warrants will have certain piggyback registration rights with
             respect to such shares.

                  The foregoing response to this Item 6 is qualified in its
             entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, the
             Shareholders' Agreement and the Warrant Agreement. 

   Item 7.   Material to be filed as Exhibits.
