                   This Statement amends and supplements the Schedule
         13D filed on August 23, 1994, as amended on November 9, 1994
         (the "Schedule 13D") and constitutes the Final Amendment with
         respect thereto.  All capitalized terms used herein have the
         meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

         1.   Each of Item 4 (Purpose of Transaction) and Item 5 (In-
         terest in Securities of the Issuer) is hereby amended by adding
         the following thereto:

              At an Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 6,
              1994, and at a reconvened Annual Meeting of Shareholders
              held on January 24, 1995, the shareholders of the Issuer
              approved, among other things, the limited matters con-
              templated by the Toys Voting Agreement and the WP Voting
              Agreement.  The transactions contemplated by the WP Voting
              Agreement and the Toys Voting Agreement were consummated
              on December 9, 1994 and on January 24, 1995.  Accordingly,
              each of the Toys Voting Agreement and the WP Voting
              Agreement has expired in accordance with its respective
              terms. <PAGE>
