CUSIP No. 46610710

     Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1), this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D
Statement is filed jointly on behalf of Third Capital Partners, LLC, a Tennessee
limited liability company ("Third Capital Partners"), Christopher L.  Jarratt
and James G. Lewis for the purpose of reporting that Third Capital Partners has
pledged its JB Oxford Holdings, Inc. 9% Secured Convertible Note in the
principal amount of $1.0 million (the "JB Oxford Note") to JB Oxford & Company
("JBOC") to secure Third Capital Partners margin account with JBOC.

Item 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     Item 3 is amended and supplemented as follows:

     On February 17, 1999, Third Capital Partners opened a margin account with
JBOC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JB Oxford Holdings, Inc. ("JB Oxford").  On
September 10, 1999, Third Capital pledged the JB Oxford Note to secure its
margin debt.  The margin debt may change from time to time.  Interest on the
JBOC margin debt is computed at a select rate above the rate banks charge
securities brokers (the "broker call money rate") and is subject to change
without notice if the broker call money rate changes.  To the extent permitted
by law, JBOC has a lien on the JB Oxford Note.  The JB Oxford Note is
convertible into shares of JB Oxford's common stock, $0.01 par value per share
(the "Shares").  The Shares issuable upon conversion of the JB Oxford Note are
reported on this Schedule 13D Statement as being beneficially owned by Third
Capital Partners and Mr. Jarratt.  A copy of the Customer Account Agreement
specifying the terms of Third Capital Partners' JBOC margin debt is attached as
Exhibit 7.6.

Item 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
          TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     Reference is made to the Customer Account Agreement which is referred to
above in Item 3 and attached as Exhibit 7.6.

Item 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     Exhibit 7.6    Customer Account Agreement dated February 17, 1999 by and
                    between JB Oxford & Company and Third Capital Partners, LLC

                           Customer Account Agreement

This contains important information and explanations regarding your JB Oxford &
Company ("JBOC") brokerage investment account and contains additional terms and
conditions which are incorporated by reference in your Account Application with
JBOC. Following acceptance of your JBOC Account Application, you may elect to
establish a Margin Account and/or Option Account. The terms, conditions and
information contained herein apply to all of your accounts with JBOC, including
cash margin and/or option accounts.

1.     Upon approval, JBOC will act as your broker for the purpose of
       transacting buy and/or sell orders for securities as instructed by you.
       All orders for the purchase or sale of securities and other property
       authorized by you will be executed and/or processed with the
       understanding that an actual purchase or sale is intended, and that it
       is your intention and obligation in every case to deliver certificates to
       cover all sales or to pay for any purchase on or before settlement date.

2.     All transactions will be subject to the rules, regulations, customs and
       usages of the exchange and market where executed, and to all applicable
       federal and state laws, rules and regulations. Cancellations of open
       orders are subject to prior executions.

DEPOSIT OF FUNDS AND EQUITY

3.     JBOC may require full payment or an acceptable deposit prior to the
       acceptance of any order. In the case of options, JBOC requires cleared
       funds in the account prior to the acceptance of any purchases. Prior to
       writing covered calls, stock must be long in the account.

TRANSACTION SETTLEMENT

4.     The purchase and sale of securities are settled on "settlement date."
       Stock transactions are settled on the third business day after the
       transaction. You agree to pay JBOC for all securities purchased by
       settlement date, and to deliver securities sold in good deliverable form
       by settlement date. Exchange and federal regulations require the
       liquidation of an account in the event of a failure to pay for a
       transaction or a failure to deliver securities in good deliverable form.

5.     All checks must be made payable to JB Oxford & Company. All securities
       delivered to JBOC must be assigned to JB Oxford & Company at the
       applicable section on the reverse side of the certificate(s) or an
       attached stock power.

       We do not accept cash, foreign drawn checks, bank drafts or third-party
       checks. Corporate checks will only be accepted for corporate accounts.
       Checks for investment club accounts must be drawn on the club's bank
       account.

RESTRICTED SECURITIES

6.     Prior to placing an order in connection with any securities subject to
       Rule 144 or 145 (d), under the Securities Act of 1933, you must advise
       JBOC of the status of the securities and furnish


                                        1

<PAGE>

         JBOC with the necessary documents to clear legal transfer. Delays may
         occur in processing such securities and you shall be responsible for
         all costs associated with the transfer, sale or processing of
         controlled or restricted securities.

COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTICES

7.     Communications will be sent to you at the mailing address specified in
       your Account Application (or at such other address you may specify in
       writing). All communications so sent, whether by mail, telegraph,
       messenger or otherwise, shall be considered delivered to you personally,
       on the date so transmitted, whether actually received or not. You must
       inform us within a reasonable time of any change in your name and/or
       address.

CREDIT VERIFICATION

8.     You authorize JBOC to make inquiries for the purpose of verifying your
       credit worthiness and, if you are married and live in a community
       property state, the credit worthiness of your spouse. Such inquiries may
       include verifying information you have provided in your Account
       Agreement, contacting your employer, and obtaining credit reports.

SECURITIES INVESTORS PROTECTION CORPORATION (SIPC) AND EXCESS SIPC

9.     Your account at JB Oxford & Company is currently protected by SIPC up to
       $500,000 of which no more than $100,000 may be in cash (excluding Money
       Market balances). Additional protection has been secured through National
       Union Fire Insurance Company, a subsidiary of AIG, for up to S10,000,000
       for securities only.

TERMINATION

10.    JBOC reserves the right to terminate your account at any time for any
       reason. Upon termination you will remain liable for any debit balances or
       deficiencies in your account.

11.    You will reimburse JBOC for any cost of collection of any debit balance
       or deficiency in connection with any of your accounts, including
       reasonable attorney's fees and court costs.

JOINT ACCOUNTS

12.    If there is more than one account holder, all account holder's
       obligations shall be joint and several. Each joint account holder shall
       have authority, acting alone, to take action with respect to the subject
       account securities and other property in that account. The signature of
       all parties is required on all documents, including but not limited to
       letters of authorization, stock powers, new account documents, and margin

CHANGE IN ACCOUNT INFORMATION

13.    You agree to notify JBOC in writing if there is a change in the facts set
       forth in the account information of your Account Application. In
       addition, you agree to notify JBOC if any of the account holders become
       employed by any securities firm, bank, trust or insurance company.

CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING CERTAIN SECURITIES

14.    Certain securities may grant the securities holder valuable rights that
       may expire unless the holder takes action. These securities include, but
       are not limited to: warrants; stock rights; convertible securities;
       bonds; and securities subject to a tender or exchange offer.

15.    You acknowledge that you are responsible for knowing the rights and terms
       of all securities in your account. JBOC is not obligated to notify you of

       law and rules of regulatory authorities.

LIENS AND LIQUIDATIONS

16.    All securities and other property held in any of your JBOC accounts, to
       include any account in which you have any interest, shall be subject to a

       to JBOC. Such securities and other property shall be held by us as a
       security for payment of any liability or indebtedness you may incur in
       any account. JBOC reserves the right to transfer securities and other
       properties from any of your other accounts with JBOC, whenever JBOC
       determines such a transfer is appropriate for its protection and JBOC
       reserves the right to determine, at its sole discretion, which securities
       and other property are to be sold and/or purchased in enforcement of this
       lien.

17.    Circumstances that may require the liquidation of an account include, but
       are not limited to: the failure of a customer to pay for securities
       purchased or the failure to deliver securities in good form; the failure
       to pay any account debit or expense, the filing of a petition of
       bankruptcy by or against a customer, an attachment levied against any
       account of the customer or any account in which the customer has an
       interest, or the customer's death.

       a result of governmental restriction(s), exchange or market rulings,
       wars, strikes or any other condition beyond its control.

       Cincinnati Stock Exchange and Pacific Stock Exchange. Our automated
       trading system and procedures for trading in equity securities enable us,
       in situations where you have not directed your order to a specific
       marketplace, to route your order to market centers, including other
       broker-dealers where, based on our experience, we can provide you with
       what we believe are the best executions, which may be subject to price
       improvement. We receive payment per share or, in some cases, reciprocal
       order flow consideration from dealers, and credit against exchange fees
       in return for orders we route directly. When such remuneration is
       received, it is considered compensation to the firm, and the source and
       nature of this compensation received by the firm in connection with your
       transaction will be disclosed upon written request.

22.    FEES & COMMISSION SCHEDULE: Please see enclosed schedule.

23.    JB Oxford reserves the right to refuse any order or account.

DEBIT INTEREST

24.    INTEREST CHARGES ON DEBIT BALANCES: Your account(s) will be charged
       interest monthly on the average daily net debit balance in all of your
       accounts, in accordance with JBOC's margin rules at the prevailing rate
       as determined by JBOC. The interest charged will appear on your monthly
       statement. The rate may change from time to time without prior notice due
       to fluctuations in interest rates or other causes. Interest rates are
       based on the Interest Rate Table shown in paragraph 32.

25.    Interest charges are based an a 360 day interest year. Interest is
       computed an the Wednesday preceding the last Friday of the month, except
       in December. In December, interest will be computed on the day before the
       last business day of the year. In calculating interest, free credit
       balances in all accounts will be offset against any debit in the account,
       and interest will be charged on the net debit balance, if any.

MARGIN ACCOUNTS

26.    SERVICES PROVIDED: If you have a Margin Account with JBOC, JBOC will act
       as your broker to purchase or sell securities, on margin, as directed by
       you. JBOC agrees to extend credit to you in accordance with its margin
       account rules. You will, at all times, be liable for the payment upon
       demand of any debit balance or other charge(s).


                                        4

<PAGE>

27.    MAINTENANCE OF MARGIN: You will, at all times, maintain such securities
       and other property in your account as margin collateral as required by
       JBOC and/or applicable exchange and federal regulations. A margin call
       may be issued if your account equity falls below such requirements. JBOC
       shall retain sole discretion to determine whether additional collateral
       will be required.

28.    You acknowledge that JBOC shall not be obligated to request additional
       margin in the event your account falls below minimum margin requirements.
       Market conditions or other circumstances may not allow JBOC to give you
       notice when your account equity becomes deficient, or to allow you time
       in which to deposit additional equity. JBOC reserves the right, in its
       sole discretion, to sell securities and other property held in your
       account(s) as collateral, to cancel open orders, to buy securities and
       other property which may be short in your account, to close open option
       positions, and to take any other action JBOC deems necessary for its
       protection, all without prior notice, advertisement or demand to you.

29.    PLEDGE OF SECURITIES AND OTHER PROPERTY: All securities and other
       property now and hereafter held, carried or maintained by JBOC, in or for
       any account in which you have any interest may be pledged, repledged,
       hypothecated or re-hypothecated by JBOC from time to time without notice,
       either separately or in common with other securities and property for any
       amount due in your account(s) or for any greater amount. JBOC may do so
       without retaining in its possession or under its control for delivery, a
       like amount of similar securities or other property. You also authorize
       JBOC to lend to itself or others securities or other property held by
       JBOC on margin for your account or any accounts under your control.

30.    SHORT SALES: You agree that any "short" sale shall be designated as such
       to JBOC at the time you place such an order, and you hereby authorize
       JBOC to mark such order "short." You acknowledge that a short sale is
       sale of a security you do not own, and that to facilitate a short sale,
       JBOC must borrow stock to cover the delivery to the purchaser(s). If the
       stock is recalled by the lender(s) of the securities, JBOC will attempt
       to re-borrow the securities but may be forced to cover your short
       position on the open market at the then current market price. You will be
       liable for any debit balance remaining after a short position has been
       closed out.

31.    You agree to meet the appropriate margin requirements for your short
       account as required by JBOC and/or applicable exchange or federal
       regulations. The credit balance generated by short sales in your account
       is not a free credit balance. If the market value of your short account
       is greater than the short account credit balance, interest will be
       charged on the appreciation in value of the short positions, based on the
       Interest Rate Table below. If the market value of your short account is
       less than the short account credit balance, interest on any debit in the
       account will be reduced in relation to the decline in value. Each
       Friday's closing price is used to determine the increase or decrease in
       the short account and your account is thus marked to the market weekly.

       financial situation or your investment objective change, you must notify
       JBOC immediately. Where the term option is used, this reflects all

       security and decide whether the option transaction is appropriate in
       light of your financial situation, investment objectives and tax
       considerations. The purchase and sale (writing) of Put and Call options
       involves a high degree of risk. Such investments are not suitable for all
       investors. You should not purchase an option unless you are able to
       sustain a total loss of the premium (cost of option) and the other costs
       of purchasing the option, and you should not sell (write) an option
       unless you own the underlying security or are in position to assume the
       substantial risks inherent in writing "naked" options.

39.    When you purchase an option, the full premium must be paid by you. An
       option purchase cannot be margined. There are, however, special margin
       requirements governing the sale of options with which you should
       familiarize yourself before commencing an option program. Complete
       details on the margin requirements for options are available to you
       through JBOC.

40.    Sufficient cleared funds should be in your account to cover the costs of
       purchasing any option. Option contracts are traded for a specified period
       of time and have no value upon expiration. You must advise JBOC if you
       wish to enter offsetting transactions by closing out your position, or
       you may exercise the option prior to the expiration date. Failure to do
       this may result in the option expiring worthless, even though it might
       have a monetary value on the expiration date.

41.    Options "in the money" 75cents or more at expiration will be
       automatically exercised.

42.    ALLOCATION OF OPTION EXERCISE ASSIGNMENT NOTICES: When JBOC receives an
       exercise notice from the Options Clearing Corporation, JBOC assigns the
       notice to a customer who is a writer of an identical option contract.
       Exercise assignment notice for option contracts is allocated among
       customer short positions pursuant to the FIFO (First In, First Out)
       method. All short options positions are liable for assignment at any
       time. A more detailed description of the FIFO allocation procedure is
       available upon request.

     If an exercise notice is assigned to your account, you must deliver the
     underlying security to JBOC in the case of a call, and you must deposit
     cash with JBOC in the case of a put sufficient to properly margin the
     security within a stated period of time.

   MONEY MARKET FUND INFORMATION

43.    MINIMUM DEPOSIT REQUIRED: The minimum deposit necessary to invest in a
       Money Market Fund ranges from $500 to $15,000, depending upon the Fund
       you choose, subject to change without prior notification. Please read the
       prospectus to determine which Fund is most suitable for you. You may make
       subsequent deposits in minimum increments of $100 to $1,000, depending on
       the Fund.

44.    MONEY MARKET FUND INFORMATION: If you select one of the money market
       funds which offers the cash sweeps as your "primary fund," JBOC will
       automatically invest free credit balances which meet your Fund's
       specified minimum on Mondays based on Friday's closing balance. If Monday
       falls on a holiday, appropriate credit balances will be swept the next
       business day. Proceeds from the sale of securities will be swept on
       settlement date, provided the securities sold have been received in good
       deliverable form prior to settlement date. Credit

       balances needed to satisfy a settling transaction or which serve as
       collateral for a short sale will not be available for investment. JBOC
       will send a confirmation only for the initial transaction activating
       your money market account. Your account statement will reflect all money
       market activity.

45.      CREDIT INTEREST

       Credit interest is paid an active investment accounts provided a minimum
       free credit balance of $500, pending investment or reinvestment, is
       maintained in the account. An active account is one which has trading
       activity during the year or is used for investment purposes. Interest
       will accrue monthly on the average daily net credit balance in your
       account over $500, and will appear on your monthly statement. The rate of
       interest may change from time to time without prior notice due to
       fluctuations in the interest rates or other causes.

46.    Free credit interest, pending investment or reinvestments, will
       begin to accrue from the date good funds are available in your
       account. Checks deposited to your account will not be deemed good
       funds until after a five (5) business day clearance period. Funds
       deposited by check are not available for withdrawal for ten (10)
       business days.

STATEMENTS AND CONFIRMATIONS

47.    STATEMENTS: All transactions including the purchase and sale of
       securities, dividends, interest payments and redemptions for securities
       held in your account will appear in your monthly account statement.
       Purchase and sale transactions will be posted on your statement as of
       the transaction settlement date. Securities held on your account will
       be listed on your statement.

48.    CONFIRMATIONS: (a) Confirmations will be sent out for all purchase and
       sale transactions on the next business day following the trade (b) JBOC
       does not provide written confirmation of "good until cancelled" orders.
       GTC orders are automatically cancelled on the last trade date of the
       month following the month the order is entered.

49.    Statements of your account and confirmations of the executions of
       orders will be conclusive if not objected to by you in writing, the
       former within ten (10) days and the latter within two (2) days after
       forwarding each confirmation or statement to you by mail or otherwise.
       Clerical errors and omissions EXCEPTED.
