      This  constitutes  Amendment No. 10  ("Amendment  No. 10") to Schedule 13D
filed by the  undersigned  on March 18,  1995 (the  "Schedule  13D").  Except as
specifically  amended by this  Amendment  No. 10, the Schedule  13D, as amended,
remains in full force and effect.  Defined  terms  herein shall have the meaning
specified in the Schedule 13D, except as otherwise provided herein.

         Item 3 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         The aggregate  purchase  price of the 1,959,522  Shares of Common Stock
owned by Steel  Partners II is  $2,192,404.  The Shares of Common Stock owned by
Steel Partners II were acquired with partnership funds.

         The  aggregate  purchase  price of the 439,350  Shares of Common  Stock
beneficially owned by Services is $696,954. Such Shares were acquired with funds
it  manages  for a foreign  investment  company  (the  "Fund").  Pursuant  to an
agreement  (the  "Management  Agreement")  with  the  Fund,  Services  has  been
appointed to manage,  on a  discretionary  basis,  certain of the Fund's assets,
which are  maintained in a brokerage  account in the Fund's name. The Management
Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time. Therefore,  pursuant to
Rule  13d-3(d)(1)(C),  the Fund may also be deemed the  beneficial  owner of the
Shares reported to be beneficially owned by Services.

         Item 4 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         The Reporting  Persons believe that the Shares of the Issuer at current
market  prices  present  an  attractive   investment   opportunity  for  capital
appreciation.

         No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate
to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs  (a) - (j) of Item
4 of  Schedule  13D  except as  provided  below.  Each  intends  to  review  its
investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and, depending on various factors
including,  without  limitation,  the Issuer's  business  affairs and  financial
position,  the price levels of the Common Stock,  conditions  in the  securities
markets and general  economic  and industry  conditions,  may in the future take
such  actions  with  respect  to  its  investment  in  the  Issuer  as it  deems
appropriate  including,  without  limitation,  purchasing  additional  Shares of
Common Stock,  selling some or all of its Shares,  proposing a slate of nominees
for election as directors at the Issuer's annual  meeting,  a special meeting of
stockholders, or otherwise,


<PAGE>

requesting  representation on the board of directors or requesting a more active
role in the management of the Issuer.

         Item 5 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) The aggregate  percentage of Shares of Common Stock  reported owned
by each person named herein is based upon 12,290,893 Shares  outstanding,  which
is the total  number of Shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  as reported in the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

As of the close of business on September 1, 1995:

         Steel Partners II beneficially  owns 1,959,522  Shares of Common Stock,
constituting  approximately  15.9%  of  the  Shares  outstanding;  and  Services
beneficially owns 439,350 Shares,  constituting approximately 3.6% of the Shares
outstanding.   Collectively,   the  Reporting   Persons  own  2,398,872  Shares,
constituting  approximately 19.5% of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding.  Mr.
Lichtenstein and Mr. Butler may be deemed to beneficially own 2,398,872  Shares,
representing  approximately  19.5% of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding,  by
virtue of their  authority to vote and dispose of the 1,959,522  Shares owned by
Steel Partners II and the 439,350 Shares managed by Services. All of such Shares
were acquired in open-market transactions.

         (b) By virtue of their  positions  with Steel Partners II and Services,
each of Messrs.  Lichtenstein  and Butler has the sole power to vote and dispose
of the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D.

         (c) Schedule A annexed  hereto lists all  transactions  in the Issuer's
Common Stock since the filing of the previous  amendment to this Schedule 13D by
the Reporting Persons.

         (d) Other than the Fund, no person other than the Reporting  Persons is
known to have the  right to  receive,  or the  power to direct  the  receipt  of
dividends  from, or to the proceeds  from, the sale of such Shares of the Common
Stock.

         (e) Not applicable.
