This is the second amendment to the Schedule 13D previously filed by the
reporting person with respect to the securities of the issuer set forth on the
cover page hereto (such initial filing, together with any prior amendments
thereto, the "Prior Filing"). This amendment is being filed in order to amend
and restate Item 5 of the Prior Filing in its entirety in connection with the
increase in the issuer's outstanding common stock as reported in the issuer's
quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 1997.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) By reason of its serving as managing general partner of Nelson and
trading manager of Olympus, Citadel may be deemed to be the indirect
beneficial owner of the Convertible Securities and the shares of
Common Stock into which the Convertible Securities are convertible.
As of the date of the filing of this statement, Nelson and Olympus
collectively owned Convertible Securities for which they originally
paid $3,300,000 ("Stated Value").
As of any date ("Conversion Date") all or a portion of the Convertible
Securities may be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock
determined by dividing the Stated Value of such securities (plus an
amount equal to 6% interest on the Stated Value of such securities
from the Closing Date) by a conversion price ("Conversion Price").
The Conversion Price is equal to the lesser of (i) $16.55 ("Fixed
Conversion Price") and (ii) the product of a discount ("Discount") and
the average of the mean of the high and low price (as reported on the
National Market System) of the Issuer's Common Stock (the "Mean
Price") for each of the five trading days immediately preceding the
Conversion Date. The Discount is equal to the sum of .9 and the
difference between 1 and a fraction, the numerator of which is the
average of the Mean Price of the Issuer's Common Stock for each of the
five trading days immediately preceding the Conversion Date and the
denominator of which is the average of the Mean Price of the Issuer's
Common Stock for each of the fifteen trading days immediately
preceding the Conversion Date; provided that the Discount may not be
greater than 1 nor less than .9.
As a result, if the Floating Conversion Price is less than the Fixed
Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will fluctuate depending upon
the Mean Price of the Issuer's Common Stock. As a consequence, the
number of shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Securities
may be converted, and consequently the number of shares of such
securities which Citadel may be deemed to beneficially own, may
fluctuate on a daily basis based solely on the Common Stock's market
price and without any action taken by Citadel, Nelson or Olympus.
As of the date of the filing of this statement, by virtue of its
status as the managing general partner of Nelson and the trading
manager for Olympus, Citadel may be deemed to be the beneficial owner
of 346,116 shares of Common Stock representing 5.17% of the Issuer's
Common Stock (based on 6,353,047 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding as reported in the Issuer's most recently filed Form 10-Q
and (ii) a Conversion Price equal to $10.3118).
(b) Citadel has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of
the Convertible Securities and the shares of Common Stock into which
the Convertible Securities are convertible on behalf of Nelson and
Olympus.
(c) No transactions with respect to the Issuer's common stock have been
effected during the 60-day period ending May 14, 1997.
(d) Nelson and Olympus, as the direct beneficial and legal owners of the
Convertible Securities, have the right to receive or the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of
the Convertible Securities and the Common Stock into which the
Convertible Securities are convertible. However, Citadel, as managing
general partner of Nelson and trading manager for Olympus, ultimately
has the right to direct such activities.
