             Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

                     The reporting persons purchased the securities of the

             Issuer, or may purchase additional securities of the Issuer
             in the open market or in private transactions.

                     Except as set forth above, the reporting persons have
             no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in the
             following types of transactions or events:

                     (c) any change in the present board of directors or
             management of the Company, including any plans or proposals
             to change the number or term of directors or fill any
             existing vacancies on the board;

                     (d) any material change in the present capitalization
             or dividend policy of the Company;

                     (e) any other material change in the Company's
             business or corporate structure;

                     (f) changes in the Company's charter, by-laws or
             instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may
             impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any
             person;

                     (g) causing a class of securities of the Company to
             be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to
             be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered

             Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                     (a) & (b)   Reference is made to Items 7-11 and 13 of
             each of the cover pages to this Schedule, which Items are
             incorporated by reference herein.  According to information
             furnished to the reporting persons by the Issuer, there were
             1,487,851 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of
             a recent date.  The following persons directly own the
             following shares of Common Stock:

                                                               =======

                     Voting and investment decisions concerning the above
             securities may be made by or in conjunction with the other
             reporting persons.  Accordingly, each of the reporting
             persons may be deemed a member of a group that shares voting
             and dispositive power over all of the above securities, in
             which case each reporting person would be deemed to have
             beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 745,536 shares of
             Common Stock, which is 50.1% of the outstanding Common Stock
             (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the
             Exchange Act).  Although the reporting persons are reporting
             such securities as if they were members of a group, the
             filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an
             admission by any reporting person that it is a beneficial
             owner of any securities other than those directly held by
             such reporting person.

                     Under the definition of "beneficial ownership" in
             Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, it is also possible that
             the individual general partners, directors, executive
             officers, members, and/or managers of the foregoing entities
             might be deemed the "beneficial owners" of some or all of the
             securities to which this Schedule relates in that they might
             be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or
             disposition of such securities.  Neither the filing of this
             Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to<PAGE>






             CUSIP No. 463228-20-5    SCHEDULE 13D           Page 18 of 21


             constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for
             any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities to
             which this Schedule relates, and such beneficial ownership is
             expressly disclaimed.

                     The reporting persons are not aware of any other
             persons named in Item 2 above who beneficially own any shares
             of Common Stock of the Issuer.  The reporting persons believe
             that William R. Hambrecht is the beneficial owner of 346,754
             shares of Common Stock, representing 23.3% of the outstanding
             Common Stock.  Although Mr. Hambrecht is not now named in
             Item 2 above, he was previously affiliated with the reporting
             persons, including as a director and officer of H&Q Group and
             H&Q California and as one of the two general partners of H&Q
             Venture Partners.  Mr. Hambrecht resigned his positions from
             H&Q Group and H&Q California as of January 1, 1998, and he
             withdrew as a general partner of H&Q Venture Partners as of
             April 6, 1998.  Accordingly, Mr. Hambrecht is not now a
             beneficial owner of the securities reported in this
             Schedule 13D.

                     (c) During the past 60 days, the reporting persons
             did not effect any transactions in the Issuer's securities.

                     (d) Not applicable.

                     (e) Not applicable.


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

                     None of the reporting persons is a party to any
             contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship with
             respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not
             limited to the transfer or voting of any securities of the
             Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
             arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division
             of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
