                                  SCHEDULE 13D

              This  Amendment  No. 1 amends and  supplements  the  Statement  on
Schedule  13D (the  "Schedule  13D")  previously  filed on December 21, 1998 and
incorporated  by  reference  herein,  relating to shares of Class A Common Stock
(the  "Shares") of Oriole Homes Corp.,  a Florida  corporation  (the  "Issuer"),
previously  filed  by  U.S.A.  Fund  Limited  Partnership,  a  Maryland  limited
partnership  ("USA Fund") and World Total Return,  Inc., a Maryland  corporation
("WTR").  Capitalized  terms  used  herein  and not  otherwise  defined  in this
Amendment No. 1 shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

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

                  The total amount of funds required by USA Fund to purchase the
117,400  Shares was  approximately  $447,241 and was furnished  from the working
capital of USA Fund.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

                  USA  Fund  acquired  the  Shares  in a series  of open  market
purchases.  As of November  12, 1999 (the date of the event which  requires  the
filing  of this  Amendment  No.  1 to  Schedule  13D),  the  Reporting  Entities
beneficially  owned an aggregate of 117,300 Shares. As of November 16, 1999, the
Reporting  Entities  beneficially  owned an  aggregate  of 117,400  Shares.  The
purchase of the Shares by USA Fund were effected for investment purposes only.

                  The  Reporting  Entities  may acquire  additional  Shares,  or
dispose of some or all of its Shares from time to time,  depending  on the price
and market conditions, evaluation of alternative investments, and other factors.
Currently,  the  Reporting  Entities  intend to review their  investment  in the
Issuer on a continuing  basis,  and depending upon the price and availability of
shares of Common  Stock,  subsequent  developments  affecting  the  Issuer,  the
Issuer's  business and prospects,  other  investment and business  opportunities
available  to  the  Reporting  Entities,   general  stock  market  and  economic
conditions, tax considerations and other factors considered relevant, may decide
at any time not to increase, or to decrease, the size of their investment in the
Issuer.

                  Neither of the  Reporting  Entities  nor, to the best of their
knowledge,  any persons referred to in Item 2 paragraph (a) of the Schedule 13D,
has any  plans  or  proposals  which  relate  to or  would  result  in:  (a) the
acquisition  by any  person of  additional  securities  of the  Company,  or the
disposition  of  securities  of  the  Company;  (b) an  extraordinary  corporate
transaction,  such as a merger,  reorganization  or  liquidation,  involving the
Company or any of its subsidiaries;  (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount
of assets  of the  Company  or any of its  subsidiaries;  (d) any  change in the
present Board of Directors or management of the Company,  including any plans or
proposals  to change the  number or term of  directors  or to fill any  existing
vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend  policy of the Company;  (f) any other material change in the Company's
business or corporate structure;  (g) changes in the Company's charter,  By-Laws
or  instruments  corresponding  thereto  or other  actions  which may impede the
acquisition  of control of the  Company by any  person;  (h)  causing a class of
securities of the Company to be delisted from a national  securities exchange or
to cease to be


                                      - 4 -

authorized  to be quoted in an  inter-dealer  quotation  system of a  registered
national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company
becoming  eligible for termination of registration  pursuant to Section 12(g)(4)
of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a) As of  November  12,  1999,  USA Fund  beneficially  owned
117,400 Shares,  representing  6.29% of the class of securities  covered by this
statement.  By reason of its relationship with USA Fund, WTR may be deemed under
Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act to own  beneficially  all of the Shares which USA
Fund  beneficially  owns.  The  percentage is computed on the basis of 1,864,149
outstanding  shares  of  Class A  Common  Stock  reported  by the  Issuer  as of
September 30, 1999 in its most recent 10-Q report.

                  (b)  The  Reporting   Entities   together   share  voting  and
dispositive power with respect to all Shares held by USA Fund.

                  (c) During the  sixty-day  period ended as of the date hereof,
USA Fund has purchased Shares in open market transactions as follows:

NUMBER OF SHARES           PRICE PER SHARE           DATE OF TRADE
- ----------------           ---------------           -------------
      11,900                    $1.625                 10/12/99
       6,500                    $1.625                 11/12/99
         700                    $1.625                 11/12/99
         100                    $1.625                 11/16/99


                  (d)  Except as set forth in this Item 5, no person  other than
each  respective  record owner referred to herein of Shares is known to have the
right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of  dividends  from,  or the
proceeds from the sale of, such Shares.

                  (e)      Not applicable.

Item 6.  Contracts,  Arrangements, Understandings  or Relationships With Respect
         to Securities of the Issuer

                  Except as otherwise described herein,  there are no contracts,
arrangements,  understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2
of the Schedule 13D or between such persons and any other person with respect to
any securities of the Issuer.

                  By virtue of the relationships among the Reporting Entities as
described in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Entities may be deemed to
be a "group" under the Federal securities laws.
