THIS  AMENDMENT  NO. 2 RELATES TO THE  SCHEDULE  13D DATED APRIL 23,  1997,  AND
AMENDED BY AMENDMENT NO. 1 DATED JUNE 26, 1997  (COLLECTIVELY,  "SCHEDULE 13D").
THE  TEXT  OF ITEM 5 OF SAID  SCHEDULE  13D IS  HEREBY  FURTHER  AMENDED  BY AND
REPLACED WITH THE FOLLOWING:


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) (b) The beneficial ownership and voting and dispositive power of each of the
Reporting  Persons  over Common  Stock of the Issuer as of the date hereof is as
follows:

         (i)      Metropolitan  Capital has  purchased no shares of Common Stock
                  of  the   Issuer   solely  for  its  own   account.   However,
                  Metropolitan  Capital may be deemed to have shared  voting and
                  dispositive power over the 119,985 shares  representing  3.34%
                  of Common  Stock of the Issuer  beneficially  owned by Bedford
                  Falls Investors, L.P.

         (ii)     KJ  Advisors,  Inc. is the owner of shares of Common  Stock of
                  the Issuer solely by reason of its position as General Partner
                  of   Metropolitan   Capital   Partners  II,  L.P.   which  has
                  discretionary voting and dispositive power over assets held in
                  the  Managed  Accounts.  Thus,  by virtue of being the General
                  Partner  of  Metropolitan   Capital   Partners  II,  L.P.,  KJ
                  Advisors,  Inc.  may be  deemed  to  have  shared  voting  and
                  dispositive power over the 15,692 shares representing 0.44% of
                  Common Stock of the Issuer held in the Managed Accounts.

         (iii)    Metropolitan  Capital  III,  Inc.  has  purchased no shares of
                  Common  Stock  of the  Issuer  solely  for  its  own  account.
                  However,  by reason of its  position  as  General  Partner  of
                  Metropolitan    Capital   Partners   III,   L.P.   which   has
                  discretionary  voting and dispositive power over the assets of
                  Metropolitan   Capital   Advisors    International    Limited,
                  Metropolitan  Capital  III,  Inc. may be deemed to have shared
                  voting  and   dispositive   power   over  the  12,792   shares
                  representing  0.36% of the Common Stock of the Issuer owned by
                  Metropolitan Capital Advisors International Limited.

         (iv)     Jeffrey Schwarz may be deemed the beneficial  owner of 148,469
                  shares representing 4.13% of the Common Stock of the Issuer as
                  a  result  of his  being a  director,  executive  officer  and
                  controlling  stockholder of Metropolitan Capital, KJ Advisors,
                  Inc. and  Metropolitan  Capital III, Inc. Jeffrey Schwarz does
                  not  beneficially own any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
                  other than through such positions.

         (v)      Karen Finerman may be deemed the  beneficial  owner of 148,469
                  shares representing 4.13% of the Common Stock of the Issuer as
                  a result of her being a  director  and  executive  officer  of
                  Metropolitan  Capital,  and a director,  executive officer and
                  stockholder of KJ Advisors, Inc. and Metropolitan Capital III,
                  Inc.  Karen Finerman does not  beneficially  own any shares of
                  Common Stock of the Issuer other than through such positions.

         The  number  of  shares   beneficially  owned  and  the  percentage  of
outstanding shares represented thereby, for each of the Reporting Persons,  have
been computed in accordance with Rule 13D-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.  The percentages of ownership described above are based on the
3,592,170 shares of Common Stock reported  outstanding by the Issuer in its Form
