         This statement amends and supplements the information set forth in the
Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined therein) with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on September 25, 1995 and 
constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D.  Capitalized terms used herein 
without definition shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Schedule
13D.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

         The second to the last sentence of Item 1 is revised and amended in its
entirety as set forth below:

         Each share of  Preferred  Stock is  currently  convertible  into 4.5375
shares of Common Stock.

Item 3.  Sources and Amounts of Funds or Other Consideration

         The first  sentence of Item 3 is revised and amended in its entirety as
set forth below:

         The  Partnerships  and  Managed  Accounts   expended  an  aggregate  of
approximately  $2,622,769 (including brokerage commissions,  if any) to purchase
the 230,176  shares of Common  Stock held by them,  which  includes  $250,000 to
purchase  the 22,688  share of Common  Stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of the
Preferred Stock.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         Item 5 is revised  and  amended  in its  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 Ownership") of 230,176
shares of Common Stock by

<PAGE>

virtue of his  position  as one of the two  general  partners of KS. Such shares
represent  4.89% of the issued and outstanding  Common Stock.  Mr. Kramer shares
voting power and  dispositive  power over the Common Stock with Mr. Spellman and
KS.

            (ii) Mr.  Spellman has  Beneficial  Ownership  of 230,176  shares of
Common Stock by virtue of his position as one of the two general partners of KS.
Such shares  represent  4.89% of the issued and  outstanding  Common Stock.  Mr.
Spellman  shares voting power and  dispositive  power over the Common Stock with
Mr. Kramer and KS.

            (iii) KS has Beneficial  Ownership of 230,176 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 4.89% of the issued
and outstanding  Common Stock. KS shares voting power and dispositive power over
such shares with Mr. Kramer and Mr. Spellman.

            The percentages  used herein are calculated based upon the 4,679,943
shares of Common  Stock  stated to be issued  and  outstanding  as of August 12,
1997,  as  reflected  in the  Company's  Quarterly  Report  on Form 10-Q for the

issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.

         (c) The  trading  dates,  number  of shares  purchased  or sold and the
average price per share (including commissions,  if any) for all transactions by
the Reporting Persons during the


<PAGE>

past 60 days are set forth in  Schedule  I hereto.  All such  transactions  were
over-the-counter.
                   

         (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 sale of shares
of Common Stock, except that the respective shareholders,  partners or owners as
relevant,  of the  Partnerships  and the  Managed  Accounts  have  the  right to
participate  in the  receipt of  dividends  from or proceeds of the sale of, the
shares of Common Stock held for their respective accounts.


         (e) As of  August  18,  1997,  the  Reporting  Persons  ceased  to have
Beneficial  Ownership of more than 5% of the outstanding  Common Stock.
