ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

    Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D hereby are deleted in their
entirety and replaced with the following:

    (a)  The Company had 9,795,128 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May
8, 1996.  As of the date hereof, the Parent may be deemed, pursuant to Rule
13d-3, to own beneficially an aggregate of 4,979,000 shares of Common Stock,
representing approximately 50.8% of the outstanding Common Stock.  As of the
date hereof, the Purchaser, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, may be
deemed pursuant to Rule 13d-3 to own beneficially an aggregate of 4,979,000
shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 50.8% of the outstanding

similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
