AMENDED BY DELETING THE THIRD PARAGRAPH THEREOF AND REPLACING IT WITH THE
FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH:

incorporated herein by reference) is set forth in the cover page hereof.

  3.	ITEM 2 OF SCHEDULE 13D, "IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND," IS HEREBY FURTHER
AMENDED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH:

  HCCP and HCEP may constitute a "group" as such term is used in Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act").  Information with respect to each of HCCP and HCEP is given solely by
each of HCCP and HCEP and no person has responsibility for the accuracy or

reference).

  The Closing Date was on May 19, 1997.

  6.	ITEM 4 OF SCHEDULE 13D, "PURPOSE OF TRANSACTIONS," IS HEREBY FURTHER
AMENDED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH:

  On May 19, 1997, HCCP, pursuant to Section 13.9 of the Securities Purchase
Agreement, assigned to HCEP HCCP's rights under the Securities Purchase
Agreement, to purchase $795,000 principal amount of the Notes and Warrants
exercisable for 105,159 shares of Common Stock, and its proportionate right,
title and interest in, and obligations under, the Securities Purchase
Agreement and such other documents ancillary thereto (collectively, the
"Assigned Interest") pursuant to the terms of an Assignment Agreement, dated
as of May 19, 1997, by and between HCCP and HCEP, attached hereto as Exhibit
4.  For purposes of this Item 4, all references to HCCP shall be references
to HCCP and HCEP.

  7.	ITEM 5 OF SCHEDULE 13D, "INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE
ISSUER," IS HEREBY AMENDED BY DELETING THE FIRST PARAGRAPH THEREOF
AND REPLACING IT WITH THE FOLLOWING:

  (a) (i) HCCP is deemed to beneficially own 6,350,860 shares of
Common Stock by virtue of its right to acquire beneficial
ownership of such shares within 60 days through (A) the conversion
of its portion of the Notes (which are convertible into 5,080,688
shares of Common Stock) and (B) the exercise of its portion of the
Warrants which are not Contingent Warrants (such currently
exercisable Warrants exercisable for 1,270,172 shares of Common
Stock).  Assuming the conversion of such Notes and the exercise of
the currently exercisable Warrants, the 6,350,860 shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by HCCP represents, to the best of HCCP's
knowledge, 7.9% of the outstanding Common Stock.

  (ii) HCEP is deemed to beneficially own 262,896 shares of Common
Stock by virtue of its right to acquire beneficial ownership of
such shares within 60 days through (A) the conversion of its
portion of the Notes (which are convertible into 210,317 shares of
Common Stock) and (B) the exercise of its portion of the Warrants
which are not Contingent Warrants (such currently exercisable
Warrants exercisable for 52,579 shares of Common Stock).  Assuming
the conversion of such Notes and the exercise of the currently
exercisable Warrants, the 262,896 shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by HCEP represents, to the best of HCEP's
knowledge, .3% of the outstanding Common Stock.

  (iii) Based on the foregoing, if HCCP and HCEP are deemed to be
a group, they together would be deemed to beneficially own
6,613,756 shares of Common Stock, which, assuming the conversion
of the Notes and the exercise of the currently exercisable
Warrants, to the best of Filer's knowledge, represents 8.2% of the
outstanding Common Stock.

  8.	ITEM 6 OF SCHEDULE 13D, "CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS,
UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE
ISSUER," IS HEREBY AMENDED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING:

  For purposes of this Item 6, all references to HCCP shall be
deemed to be references to HCCP and HCEP.

  9.	ITEM 8 TO SCHEDULE 13D, "MATERIALS TO BE FILED AS
EXHIBITS," IS HEREBY AMENDED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING:

  Exhibit 4:	Assignment Agreement, dated as of May 19, 1997, by
