definition shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

         The first  sentence of Item 3 is revised and amended in its entirety
as set forth below:  The  Partnerships  and Managed  Accounts  expended an

         The first five  paragraphs  of Item 5 are  revised and amended in
their  entirety  as set forth  below:

         (a)-(b) On the date of this Statement:

                           (i)       Mr. Kramer has beneficial ownership for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934  ("Beneficial

                           (ii)      Mr. Spellman has Beneficial Ownership of
92,550 of Common Stock by virtue of his position as one of the two general
partners of KS.  Such shares represent 2.52% of the issued and outstanding

                           (iii)     KS has Beneficial Ownership of 92,550
shares of Common Stock by virtue of its position as general  partner  of, or
discretionary  investment  manager to, the Partnerships and Managed  Accounts,
as the case the may be, holding such shares of Common  Stock.  Such  shares
represent  2.52% of the issued and  outstanding Common Stock. KS shares voting
power and dispositive power over such shares with Mr. Kramer and Mr.  Spellman.

                   (d)  No  person  other  than  each  respective  record  owner
referred  to herein  of  shares  of  Common  Stock is known to have the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends  from or the proceeds of
