                  This  Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D,  dated April 6,
1999  (collectively  referred  to as the  "Schedule  13D")  filed  by  Watertone
Holdings LP, Watermark  Investments Limited LLC and Robert A. Berman.  Except as
specifically amended hereby, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.

                  Defined terms used herein shall have the meaning  specified in
the Schedule 13D, except as otherwise provided herein.

                  Item 4 of  the  Schedule  13D is  hereby  amended  to add  the
following:

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.
                  -----------------------

                  On April 15,  1999  Watertone  disposed  of  35,000  shares of
Executone  common stock in an open market  transaction  at a sale price of $8.84
per share.  On April 16, 1999 Watertone  disposed of 465,000 shares of Executone
common stock in an open market transaction at a sale price of $9.57 per share.

                  On April 21, 1999 Watertone  distributed all but 50,000 of its
shares of Executone  common stock in a distribution to its equity holders.  As a
result, Watertone now holds only 50,000 shares of Executone common stock.


                  Item 5 of the Schedule  13D is hereby  amended in its entirety
to read:

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer
                  ------------------------------------

                  (a) As of the date hereof,  Watertone  holds 50,000  shares of
Executone common stock. Watermark is attributed beneficial ownership to the same
50,000 shares of Executone common stock. Additionally,  Watermark directly holds
75,000 shares of Executone common stock it received in the distribution.  Robert
A.  Berman is also  attributed  beneficial  ownership  to the  50,000  shares of
Executone common stock still held by Watertone as well as the 75,000 shares held
by  Watermark.  Additionally,  Mr. Berman  directly  holds  1,246,192  shares of
Executone common stock he received in the distribution.  Each of Watertone's and
Watermark's  beneficial  interest  constitute  less  than  1% and  Mr.  Berman's
beneficial  interest  constitutes  2.0% of the shares of Executone  common stock
outstanding  as  of  the  date  hereof.   As  of  the  date  hereof  there  were
approximately 63,187,165 shares of Executone common stock outstanding.

                  (b)  Robert   Berman,   as  the  sole  manager  of  Watermark,
Watertone's general partner, has sole power to vote and to dispose of all of the
shares of Executone common stock referred to in paragraph (a) above.

                  (c) See  "Item  3.  Source  and  Amount  of  Funds  and  Other
Consideration"  above for  information  as to shares of  Executone  common stock
recently  acquired or disposed of by  Watertone.  Except as  disclosed  therein,
Watertone  has not  acquired,  within the past 60 days,  any shares of Executone
common stock.

                  (d) No  person,  other  than  Watertone,  Watermark  or Robert
Berman, has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
from,  or the proceeds  from the sale of, the shares of  Executone  common stock
that are the subject of this Schedule 13D.

                  (e) As of April 21,  1999,  Watertone,  Watermark  and  Robert
Berman all ceased  being  beneficial  owners of more than 5% of the  outstanding
common stock of Executone.
