offices at 529 West 6th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada V5Z 4H5.

     The Original Statement on Schedule 13D is hereby amended by
deleting all references to "AC Acquisition Corp." as AC

the following language after the first paragraph:

          On April 19, 1996, Parent through its wholly-owned
     subsidiary ACY entered into an agreement with Nesbitt
     Burns of Vancouver, B.C., Canada to sell 1,000,000
     Common Shares of the Company to Nesbitt Burns in a
     private transaction for U.S.$14,985,600 which is
     scheduled to close on April 25, 1996.

     Item 5 of the Original Statement is hereby amended by adding

          As of April 19, 1996, assuming that the
     contemplated sale of 1,000,000 Common Shares will close
     on or about April 25, 1996, Parent beneficially owns
     2,175,615 (including 500,000 Series C First Preference
     Shares which are convertible before December 22, 1999
     including accrued but unpaid dividends into 1,141,732
     Common Shares) which are held by ACY.

     Item 5(c) of the Original Statement is hereby amended by
adding the following language after the first paragraph:

     On April 19, 1996, Parent through its wholly-owned

Company to Nesbitt Burns in a private transaction for
U.S.$14,985,600 or U.S.$14.9856 per Common Share which is

     Item 6 of the Original Statement is hereby amended to add
