ITEM 9.   SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S.

     In  October of 1996, as previously  reported,  Registrant  placed
$1,625,000 of its Series J Preferred  Stock pursuant to the  exemption
from registration provided by SEC Rule 903.   In conjunction with this
placement, Registrant also issued  to  the  Series  J  Preferred Stock
holders, pursuant to the exemption from registration provided  by  SEC
rule   903,   warrants   exercisable   into  a  total  of 1,165,101 of
Registrant's Common Stock at  an  exercise  price  of $1.75 per share.
None of these warrants have been exercised to  date  and  the warrants
have various expiration dates ranging from October 2  through  October
28, 1997.

      In  September of 1996, as previously reported, in  consideration
of a $10 million line of credit  extended  to  Registrant,  Registrant
issued  warrants  (the  "Warrants")  pursuant  to  the  exemption from
registration provided by SEC Rule 903,  which  were  exercisable  into
3,200,000  shares  of  Registrant's  Common Stock.  The Warrants  were
issued to accredited investors in  an  offshore transaction as defined
in  Rule  903.  The  Warrant  holders  of  Warrants  exercisable  into
2,000,000  shares   of  Registrant's   Common  Stock  have  previously
exercised their Warrants, as  previously  reported.  On April 14, 1997
the other remaining Warrant holder consummated  the  exercise  of  its
Warrants for 1,200,000 shares of Registrant's  Common  Stock  at $1.15
per share,  resulting  in  payment  of  gross  aggregate  proceeds  of
$1,380,000 to Registrant.  Registrant paid aggregate finder's fees  of
$69,000 in connection with the transaction.

     There  are  currently  35,091,532 shares of  Registrant's  Common
Stock outstanding.

     and  any  applicable state securities laws or an  opinion  of
     counsel satisfactory in form and substance to counsel for the
     Corporation  that  the  transaction shall  not  result  in  a
