CUSIP NO.73179110                          Amendment No. 1 to 13G



Item 4.        Ownership:

          (a)  Amount Beneficially Owned:  1,584,229.  This
amount represents (i) shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock") convertible at the option of the Reporting
Person into that number of whole shares of Common Stock that is
calculable by multiplying the number of shares of Preferred Stock
being converted by 10 and dividing such number by the closing
sales price of the Common Stock on the day immediately preceding
the date that written notice of conversion is given to the Issuer
(the "Valuation Formula") and (ii) accrued and unpaid dividends,
payable in shares of Common Stock, based on the same Valuation
Formula as applicable to the Preferred Stock.  Pursuant to the
terms of that certain letter agreement dated November 11, 1998
between the Issuer and the Reporting Person, in no event shall
the Reporting Person be entitled to convert, within 60 days, any
portion of the Preferred Stock in excess of that portion of the
Preferred Stock upon conversion of which the sum of (i) the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the
Reporting Person (other than shares of Common Stock which may be
deemed beneficially owned as a result of unconverted derivative
securities) plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the Preferred
Stock (including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon), would
result in beneficial ownership by the Reporting Person of more
than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, except upon
the occurrence of certain material contingencies not under the
control of the Reporting Person. The number of shares of Common
Stock described as beneficially owned in this paragraph is
included for disclosure purposes only.  The exact number of
shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the Reporting Person, if
any, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock cannot be determined
until conversion thereof.

          (b)  Percent of Class:  9.99%

          (c)  Number of Shares as to which such person has:

             (i)    sole power to vote or to direct the 
                    vote:  1,584,229

             (ii)   shared power to vote or to direct the 
                    vote:   0

             (iii)  sole power to dispose or to direct the 
                    disposition of:  1,584,229

             (iv)   shared power to dispose or to direct the
                    disposition of:  0
