ITEM 3.       SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

ITEM 4:       PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

              Reporting   Person's   affiliates   engaged  in  three  concurrent
transactions that affected the beneficial ownership of Issuer's Shares:

     1.   HHL affiliate  received  1,177,240  Shares upon conversion of existing
          debt owed by Issuer.  The funds  originally  lent to Issuer  came from
          HHL's corporate funds.

          Shares to an unaffiliated corporation.

     3.   Reporting  Person  ceased  to be  the  controlling  representative  of

          transferred  by  Reporting   Person  in  connection  with  a  domestic
          relations settlement.

Reporting Person did not perform these transactions with the purpose of changing
or influencing the control of the Issuer. Reporting Person consequently does not
have any new plans to:

     (a)  acquire or dispose of additional  Issuer  securities  other than stock
          options  issued as  compensation  for  serving as a member of Issuer's
          Board of Directors;

     (b)  engage in any  extraordinary  corporate action involving Issuer or its
          subsidiaries;

     (d)  change Issuer's Board of Directors or management;

     (e)  change Issuer's present capitalization or dividend policy;

     (f)  change Issuer's business or corporate structure;

     (g)  change Issuer's  charter,  bylaws or take any action to impede another
          person from acquiring control of Issuer;

     (h)  cause any Issuer securities to ceased being authorized to be quoted in
          an inter-dealer quotation system;

     (i)  cause  any  class  of  Issuer   securities  to  become   eligible  for
