CUSIP No. 910305101                                         Page 5 of 6 pages

         There are no additional shares of common stock of the Issuer which I
owned before the above-described transaction.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

         The purpose of the aforesaid transactions with the Issuer is for
investment. I have no plan or proposal which relates to or would result in:

         (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
Issuer or disposition of securities of the Issuer;

         (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or its subsidiaries;

         (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or
any of its subsidiaries;

         (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the
Issuer, including any change in the number or terms of the directors or to fill
any existing vacancies on the board, recognizing that the Issuer has its own
plan which anticipates my possible appointment or election to the board of
directors of the Issuer and possible appointment to an "advisory board" to one
or more of the subsidiaries of the Issuer;

         (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Issuer;

         (f) any material change in the Issuer's present business or corporate
structure, recognizing that the Issuer has its own plan to turn around its
business and that of its subsidiaries;

         (g) changes the Issuer's charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition or control of the
Issuer by any person;

         (h) causing the common stock of the Issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or to cease 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 eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

         (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a) As of January 27, 1997, I "beneficially owned" 353,400 shares of
common stock of the Issuer (shown in row 11 of page 2 hereof), including 80,000
warrants.

         The Issuer has advised me that, on January 27, 1997, there were
2,808,201 shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding. Not treating my
80,000 warrants as issued shares of common stock of the Issuer, then on January
27, 1997, I would be regarded as "beneficially owning" 9.74% shares of the
common stock of the Issuer (see row 13 of page 2 hereof), 273,400 divided by
2,808,201.

         (b) Of the 273,400 shares "beneficially owned" by me mentioned in (a)
previously, I had sole voting power and sole power to dispose of these shares
(see rows 7-10 of page 2 hereof).

         (c) The transactions subject to this report and herein reported related
to the common shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days are discussed in Item
3 hereof (see pages 3-4).

         (d) No person is known by me to have the right to receive or direct the
receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the common stock of the
Issuer.

         (e) This report does not relate to a reporting person ceasing to the
beneficial owner of more than five percent of the common stock of the Issuer.


Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer

         I have no contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships
with respect to the common stock of the Issuer, except for the terms of the
above-mentioned Confidential Private Placement Memorandum under which the Issuer
offered shares of its common stock to investors (see Item 3, pages 3-4 hereof)
and except for, as noted in Item 4(d) (see page 5), my anticipated appointment
or election to the board of directors of the Issuer and anticipated appointment
to an "advisory board" to one or more of the subsidiaries of the Issuer.


Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits

         I have no written agreements to be filed as exhibits relating to joint
acquisition statements or written agreements, contracts, arrangements,
understandings, plans, or proposals relating to (1) the borrowing of funds to
finance the acquisition of the equity securities disclosed in Item 3, (2) the
acquisition of issuer control, liquidation, sale of assets, merger, or change in
business or corporate structure or any other matter as disclosed in Item 4, or
(3) the transfer or voting of securities, finder's fees, joint ventures,
options, puts, calls, guarantees of loans, guarantees against loss or of profit,
or giving or withholding of any proxy as disclosed in Item 6.


Signature

         After reasonable inquiry, I certify that to the best of my knowledge
and belief the information set forth in this statement is true, complete, and
correct.
