Co., Dickstein Focus,  Dickstein  International and Mark Dickstein were acquired
in the open market.  The total cost of the  reported  shares by Dickstein & Co.,

$1,132,361.75,  $586,549.50 and $167,380,  respectively.  Such costs were funded
out of working  capital  (and in the case of Mark  Dickstein,  personal  funds),
which may, at any given time,  include  margin loans made by brokerage  firms in
the ordinary course of business."

               II.  Items  5(a)  and  5(c)  of the  Schedule  13D  "Interest  in
Securities of the Issuer" are amended and restated as follows:

               "(a) The  Reporting  Persons  beneficially  own an  aggregate  of
784,606 shares of Common Stock,  representing  approximately 23.1% of the Common
Stock  outstanding.  Dickstein & Co. owns 519,931 of such  shares,  representing
approximately  15.3% of the  Common  Stock  outstanding,  Dickstein  Focus  owns
139,200 of such  shares,  representing  approximately  4.1% of the Common  Stock
outstanding,  Dickstein  International owns 93,596 of such shares,  representing
approximately  2.8% of the Common Stock  outstanding,  and Mark  Dickstein  owns
31,879  of  such  shares,  representing  approximately  1% of the  Common  Stock
outstanding.2 The Common Stock was issued pursuant to the Issuer's Amended Joint
Plan  of  Reorganization  (the  "POR")  dated  December  5,  1996.  The  POR was
consummated  on June 4, 1997. On May 1, 1997,  certain of the Reporting  Persons
agreed to purchase,  in an open market  transaction,  on an "if and when issued"
basis, an aggregate of 540,000 shares of Common Stock.  430,368 of the shares of
Common  Stock  included in this  transaction  settled on July 23, 1997 after the
consummation  of the POR and are included in the percentages  stated above.  The
balance of the shares  (109,632) are scheduled to settle on or about November 3,
1997 for a price of $5.25 per share.  85,269 of these shares will be acquired by
Dickstein  &  Co.,  16,242  of  these  shares  will  be  acquired  by  Dickstein
International  and 8,121 of these  shares will be  acquired  by Mark  Dickstein.
These shares are not included in the percentages stated above.

- -----------------

2    Percentages  are based  upon  3,400,000  shares of  Common  Stock  reported
     outstanding as of August 2, 1997 in the Company's  Quarterly Report on Form
     10-Q for the quarter ended July 5, 1997.

         On August 20, 1997,  certain of the Reporting Persons agreed to acquire
from a third party  ("Seller"),  on a so-called "if and when issued"  basis,  an
aggregate of up to 133,995  shares (the  "Subject  Shares") of Common Stock at a
price (including commission) of $7.83 per share. The Seller's obligation to sell
the Subject  Shares to the  Reporting  Persons is  contingent  upon the issuance
pursuant to the POR of such shares to Seller's counter-party upon the resolution
of certain  pre-petition  claims.  94,995 of these  shares  will be  acquired by
Dickstein  &  Co.,  17,000  of  these  shares  will  be  acquired  by  Dickstein
International  and 22,000 of these shares will be acquired by  Dickstein  Focus.
These shares are not included in the percentages stated above.

               Mark Kaufman, a Vice President of Dickstein Inc., owns 1,000
shares of Common Stock.

               (c) Except for the transactions  described in Item 5(a) above and
the  transactions  set forth on Schedule II annexed  hereto,  Schedule II to the
Schedule 13D and Schedule II to the Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, none of
the persons  identified  in Item 2 has effected any  transactions  in the Common
