                         Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D
                                  -------------

          Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D (the
"Schedule 13D") previously filed by the reporting persons with the Securities
and Exchange Commission with respect to The Diana Corporation (prior name of the
Issuer). Terms defined in the Schedule 13D are used herein as so defined.

          The Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:



Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
         ------------------------------------

          Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

          (a) Based on a total of 16,618,492 shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of February 18, 2000, and giving effect to the exercise of all
presently-exercisable Warrants, Mr. Haydon owns 1,517,230 shares of Common
Stock, or approximately 8.76% of the Common Stock outstanding. SRP owns 789,380
shares of Common Stock, or 4.65% of the Common Stock outstanding.

          The securities reported as beneficially owned by Mr. Haydon include
the securities owned by SRP. The balance is held in various managed
discretionary accounts with respect to which Mr. Haydon, or an entity controlled
by Mr. Haydon, has sole voting and investment power over the securities of the
Issuer held by such accounts.

          (b) Mr. Haydon has sole power to vote or direct the voting of and to
dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of Common Stock referred to
in paragraph (a) above.

          (c) Except as described in this statement, none of the Reporting
Persons has effected any transaction in the Common Stock in the past 60 days. On
February 15, 2000 an aggregate 2,000 shares of Common Stock were purchased for
the benefit of two managed discretionary accounts managed by Mr. Haydon at a per
share purchase price of $6.97.

          (d) No other person has the power to direct the receipt of dividends
on, or the proceeds from sales of, the shares of Common Stock owned by the
Reporting Persons.

          (e) Not applicable.
