          ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
                    ----------------------

                    On November 26, 1997, Mr. Slamecka purchased 200,000
          shares of Common Stock as part of a private placement by the
          Company (the "Private Placement") pursuant to a Common Stock
          Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 27, 1997, between Mr.
          Slamecka and the Company.  The Private Placement closed on
          November 26, 1997.

                    As of November 3, 1997, Mr. Slamecka converted $60,000
          principal amount of 14% Convertible Debentures into 60,000 shares
          of Common Stock.

                    Mr. Slamecka and the Company entered into an Employment
          Agreement, dated as of February 5, 1997 (the "Employment
          Agreement") whereby the Company granted to Mr. Slamecka stock
          options to purchase 300,000 shares at an exercise price of $3.00

          and the options for the balance of 270,000 shares are to vest at
          the rate of 7,500 shares per month. Mr. Slamecka holds presently
          exercisable options to purchase 120,000 shares of Common Stock
          under the Employment Agreement (including options presently

          excersisable for 105,000 shares and options for 15,000 shares
          vesting over the next 60 days). In addition, under the Employment

          shares (the "Bonus Shares") of the Company's Common Stock, as
          presently constituted, in the event that the closing price of the
          Company's Common Stock as reported on the NASDAC OTC Bulletin
          Board or other national market quotation system or exchange where
          the Common Stock is then traded (the "Trading Price") equals or
          exceeds $60.00 per share for a period of twenty (20) consecutive
          trading days during the term of the Employment Agreement.

                    Except as set forth above, Mr. Slamecka has no plans or
          proposals to engage in any transactions specified in paragraphs
          (a) through (j) of this Item; although he may consider one or
          more such transactions in the future depending upon factors then
          existing, such as the market for the Company' Common Stock and
          the Company's then prospects.

                    exercisable options to purchase 120,000 shares of
                    Common Stock and represents 8.9% of the Common Stock
                    outstanding.

               (b)  Mr. Slamecka has sole voting power for the 264,000

                    Stock.

               (c)  On November 3, 1997, Mr. Slamecka converted a 14%
                    Convertible Subordinated Debenture, due October 31,
                    1999, of the Company in the principal amount of $60,000
