indicated,  all  capitalized  terms used herein shall have the same meaning as
set forth in the Statement.


ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          Items  5(a), 5(b), 5(c) and 5(e) of the Statement are hereby amended

and restated to read in their entirety as follows:

          (a) This statement on Schedule 13D relates to 238,500 Shares 
          beneficially owned by the  Reporting  Persons, which constitute 
          approximately 4.0% of the issued and outstanding Shares.

          (b) The  Manager  has  sole  voting  and dispositive power with 
          respect to 238,500 Shares  owned  by  the Partnership.  James 
          Cramer and Karen Cramer have shared voting and dispositive power with
          respect to 238,500 Shares.

          (c)Since  the  date  of the last filing, the Reporting Persons sold 
          shares of the Common  Stock  on  the  dates,  in  the amounts and at 
          the prices set forth on Exhibit  B  attached hereto and incorporated 
          by reference herein.  All of such sales were made on the open market.
