Item 2 has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or

units of securities, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and

an exercise price of $0.125. On June 8, 1998, JFSCI purchased 872,093 units in
the Private Placement. The 872,093 units purchased consisted of 872,093 shares

purchase price was the working capital of JFSCI.

The Reporting Persons purchased the securities to retain or
increase their respective equity interests in the Issuer. Depending upon market

other factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, dispose of some or
all of the securities of the Issuer.
Although the Reporting Persons reserve the right to develop
plans or proposals in the future with respect to the following items, except as

to or would result in any of the following:
(a) the acquisition by any person of additional

(g) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions
which may impede the acquisition of control of the
Issuer by any person;
(h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be
delisted from a national securities exchange or to
cease to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
national securities association;
(i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming

trustees of the trust are Edmund H. Shea, Jr. and his wife, Mary. The address of
the trust is 655 Brea Canyon Road, Walnut, California 91789.

securities held by JFSCI may be made by or in conjunction with the other
Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members in a group,
in which case each Reporting Person would be deemed to have beneficial ownership
of an aggregate of 6,886,553 shares of the Common Stock. As a shareholder,
director and executive officer of JFSCI, each of John F. Shea, Edmund H. Shea,
Jr., Peter O. Shea and James G. Shontere might be deemed to be the beneficial
owner of the securities beneficially owned by JFSCI. Although each such person
is joining in this Schedule as a Reporting Person, the filing of this Schedule
shall not be construed as an admission that he or any of the other shareholders,
directors or executive officers of JFSCI is, for any purpose, the beneficial
owner of any of the securities that are beneficially owned by JFSCI.
(c) The Reporting Persons did not effect any transactions other than those
set forth in Items 3 and 4 above.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.

withholding of proxies.
