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

         Loomis purchased all 119,885 shares of Stock owned by Kirk Terry
Dornbush for a promissory note in the principal amount of $209,799. At the time
of Loomis' transfer of 80,000 shares to The Paideia School (Exhibits 1 and 2),
Kirk Terry Dornbush transferred the promissory note to The Paideia School
(Exhibit 3). As part of the consideration of the transfer by Loomis of 80,000
shares to The Paideia School, said promissory note was canceled (Exhibits 4 and
5). Of the shares transferred by Loomis 44,716 were deemed to constitute a
charitable contribution by Loomis to The Paideia School. The transfers to The
Galloway School, Children's Hospital of Boston and Pace Academy totaling 39,885
shares constitute charitable contributions by Loomis.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

         Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

         Loomis on February 11, 1999 transferred 80,000 shares of Stock to The
Paideia School. Loomis then transferred 17,052 shares of Stock which he had
originally purchased from Kirk Terry Dornbush to The Galloway School, a Georgia
501(c)(3) not for profit corporation on April 30, 1999. On April 30, 1999,
Loomis transferred 3,242 shares to Pace Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. On May 6,
1999, Loomis transferred 19,591 shares to The Children's Hospital in Boston,
Massachusetts, a 501(c)(3) not for profit corporation. By virtue of the
aforementioned transfer, Loomis no longer is the beneficial owner of any shares.

         Following the transfer by Loomis to The Paideia School of 80,000
shares, The Galloway School of 17,052 shares, Pace Academy of 3,242 shares and
Children's Hospital of Boston of 19,519 shares, Loomis retained no shares of
Stock.

         Kirk Terry Dornbush sold his shares of Stock to Loomis in order to
liquidate his investment in the Company.

         The shares of Stock and Warrants acquired by Dornbush have been
acquired for investment purposes. The shares of Stock acquired by Loomis were
for investment purposes. The shares acquired by The Paideia School, The Galloway
School, Children's Hospital and Pace Academy were by virtue of a charitable
contribution.

         Depending upon market conditions, their continuing evaluation of the
business and prospects of the Company and other factors, Loomis may buy or sell
additional securities of the Company or sell securities of the Company in open
market transactions, in private transactions or by any other possible means. The
Galloway School, Children's Hospital and Pace Academy may sell securities of the
Company in open market transactions, in private transactions or by any possible
means.

         The Paideia School sold 55,000 shares in the open market on April 22,
1999 and 25,000 shares on April 23, 1999. The Paideia School no longer is the
beneficial owner of any shares.

         Robert Earl Dornbush became a director of the Company on December 16,
1994. Dornbush has informed the Company of his intent to resign as a member of
the board of directors of the Company and to sell some or all of his shares in
the Company upon the declaration of effectiveness of the Company's registration
statement on Form S-1 ("Registration Statement") previously filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or otherwise as permitted by law and as
market conditions permit. Dornbush's decision as to whether and when to sell
shares (and shares obtained pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants) will
depend on market conditions, his continuing evaluation of the business and
prospects of the Company and many other factors. Dornbush also may, in the
future, based on these factors, decide to purchase shares of the Company.

         Except as otherwise stated herein, Dornbush has no present plans which
relate to or would result in:

         (a)      An extraordinary corporation transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

         (b)      A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries;

         (c)      Any change in the present board of directors or management of
the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board;

         (d)      Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Company;

         (e)      Any other material change in the Company's business or
corporate structure;

         (f)      Changes in the Company's charter, by-laws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other action which may impede the acquisition or
control of the Company by any person;

         (g)      Causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted
from a National Securities Exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted
in an inter-dealer quotation system of any registered national securities
association;

         (h)      A class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g) (4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

         (i)      Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          As a result of the transfer of 80,000 shares of Stock to The Paideia
School, the transfer of 17,052 shares to The Galloway School, the transfer of
19,591 shares to the Children's Hospital and the transfer of 3,242 shares to
Pace Academy, Loomis now owns -0- shares of Stock.

          Dornbush now owns 290,335 shares of Stock (including 2,000 shares of
Stock issuable upon exercise of 2,000 Warrants owned by him) or 5.6% of the
class.

          The following is the number of shares of Stock Dornbush, Loomis, The
Paideia School, The Galloway School, Children's Hospital and Pace Academy each
has:
