         This statement  amends and supplements the information set forth in the
Schedule  13D filed by the  Reporting  Persons  (as  defined  therein)  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  on June 26, 1995 and
constitutes  Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.  Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule
13D.

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

         The  aggregate  cost of the Shares  beneficially  owned by Cowen as set
forth below in Item 5(c) was approximately $350,687.50.  Of these Shares, 10,000
were acquired using $135,000 of funds in a Cowen  investment  account and 14,500
Shares  were  acquired  using  $215,687.50  of  available  funds held in Cowen's
clients' investment  management accounts for which Cowen serves as discretionary
investment  manager.  Some of these  investment  management  accounts are margin
accounts maintained with Cowen which extends margin credit to its clients as and
when  required to open or carry  positions  in the margin  accounts,  subject to
applicable Federal margin regulations and Cowen's credit policies.  However,  to
the best  knowledge of Cowen,  none of its margin account  clients  incurred any
borrowing in connection with the acquisition of the Shares.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         Paragraphs  (a)-(c) of Item 5 are revised and amended in their entirety
as set forth below:

                   (a)-(b)  As of the date  hereof,  the  aggregate  number  and
percentage of outstanding Shares beneficially owned by Cowen, Cowen Incorporated
(in its  capacity as the sole  general  partner of Cowen) and Mr.  Cohen (in his
capacity as the Voting Trustee), including the number of Shares as to which they
have sole power to vote or direct the vote,  shared  power to vote or direct the
vote, sole power to dispose or direct the disposition or shared power to dispose
or direct the disposition, is set forth as follows:

                    Aggregate number of shares beneficially owned:
                                                                     442,200
                    Number of shares with sole power to vote:
                                                                      88,300
                    Number of shares with shared power to vote:
                                                                     174,900
                    Number of shares with sole power to dispose:
                                                                      88,300


<PAGE>9




                    Number of shares with shared power to dispose:
                                                                     353,900

         Cowen  shares  voting and  dispositive  power as to 174,900 and 353,900
Shares, respectively, with certain clients of Cowen Asset Management, a division
of Cowen. In the regular course of its business,  Cowen Asset Management manages
securities held in the investment  managements  account of its clients.  None of
these  clients  individually  own  beneficially  more than five  percent  of the
outstanding Shares.

         As of August 19, 1996, the number of Shares outstanding, as reported by
the Trust in its Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q,  was  5,784,000.  The number of
Shares  beneficially  owned  by the  Reporting  Persons  represents  7.7% of the
outstanding Shares.

         None of Messrs. Greenberger and Merritt has any beneficial ownership
in any Shares.

          (c) Within the sixty (60) days prior to April 10, 1996, through August
21, 1996,  Cowen effected on behalf of itself and its clients with market makers
in the Shares the  following  purchases and sales of the Shares for its clients'
