                  This  Amendment No. 2 to the Statement on Schedule 13D,  dated
August 26, 1997,  as amended and restated by Amended and Restated  Schedule 13D,
dated September 15, 1998 (as so amended and restated,  the  "Statement"),  filed
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission on behalf of Fourteen Hill Capital,
L.P.,  Fourteen  Hill  Management,   LLC  and  Point  West  Capital  Corporation
(collectively,  the "Reporting  Persons") with respect to the Common Stock,  par
value $.015 (the "Stock"), of First Priority Group, Inc. (the "Issuer").

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

ITEM 4.           PURPOSE OF TRANSACTIONS.
- ------            -----------------------

                  Fourteen Hill Capital, L.P. acquired the shares of Stock owned
by it for investment  purposes because the Reporting Persons viewed the Stock as
an attractive  investment  opportunity at the time of acquisition.  Since August
1997, the Issuer has incurred  significant  losses and recently the price of the
Stock has declined precipitously.

                  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the
Issuer on a continuing basis and reserve the right to acquire  additional shares
of  Stock  in  the  open  market  or in  privately  negotiated  transactions  or
otherwise,  to maintain  their  holdings  at current  levels or to sell all or a
portion  of  their  holdings  in the  open  market  or in  privately  negotiated
transactions  or  otherwise.  Any such  actions  will depend  upon,  among other
things,  the availability of shares of Stock for purchase at satisfactory  price
levels; the continuing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition,
operations and prospects;  general market,  economic and other  conditions;  the
relative  attractiveness of alternative  business and investment  opportunities;
the  availability  of financing;  the Reporting  Persons'  respective  financial
conditions; and other future developments.  As part of their ongoing review, the
Reporting  Persons (and one or more of the  individuals  listed on Schedule 1 to
the Statement, either individually or on behalf of the Reporting Persons) intend
to have  discussions  with  management  and the Board of Directors of the Issuer
regarding ways of improving the Issuer's  performance  and value,  including the
possibility  of replacing  certain key management  personnel of the Issuer.  The
Reporting  Persons (and one or more of the  individuals  listed on Schedule 1 to
the Statement,  either  individually or on behalf of the Reporting  Persons) may
discuss  the  Issuer  from time to time with  members of the  management  of the
Issuer and their  advisers,  and may  communicate  with other  shareholders  and
interested  parties  concerning  the  Issuer.  In  furtherance  of the  goal  of
improving  the  Issuer's  performance  and  value,  any or all of the  Reporting
Persons  (and  one or  more  of the  individuals  listed  on  Schedule  1 to the
Statement,  either  individually or on behalf of the Reporting Persons) may seek
to  work,  with  or  without  the  management,  Board  of  Directors  and  other
shareholders  of the Issuer,  to address these  issues.  It is possible that the
Reporting  Persons (and one or more of the  individuals  listed on Schedule 1 to
the Statement,  either  individually or on behalf of the Reporting  Persons) may
develop or pursue plans and proposals  regarding:  (i)  extraordinary  corporate
transactions,  such as mergers,  reorganizations  or liquidations  involving the
Issuer or any of its  subsidiaries,  (ii) one or more  sales or  transfers  of a
material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) one or
more  changes in the present  Board of Directors  or  management  of the Issuer,
including  plans or  proposals  to change the number or terms of directors or to
fill any  vacancies  on the  Board,  (iv)  one or more  changes  in the  present
capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer,  (v) one or more changes in the
Issuer's  business  or  corporate  structure,  (vi) one or more  changes  in the
Issuer's charter,  bylaws or instruments  corresponding thereto or other actions
which may  facilitate or impede the  acquisition of control of the Issuer by any
other  person,  and (vii) one or more actions which may cause the Stock to cease
to be authorized to be quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market or the Issuer to become
eligible for  termination or  registration  pursuant to Section  12(g)(4) of the
Exchange  Act.  Depending  on future  developments,  the plans of the  Reporting
Persons may change.
