Neither Reliance Financial nor, to the best of its knowledge, any other
person named in this Item 2 has, during the last five years, been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) nor, except as set forth below, been party to a
civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a
judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

On February 17, 1994, in settlement of an administrative proceeding
concerning the accounting treatment for certain transactions in 1986 in
the fixed income portfolio of RIC, without admitting or denying the
allegations against it, RGH agreed to entry of an order by the
Securities and Exchange Commission that RGH cease and desist from
committing or causing any violation, and from committing or causing any
future violation of, Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended and Rules 13a-1 and 13a-3 thereunder.


         ITEM 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.


                  The information in Item 5 is amended to read in its entirety
         as follows:

                  According to information obtained by the filing persons, the
         number of shares of the Security outstanding has increased to 8,490,849
         shares. As a result, the 666,666 shares of the Security beneficially
         owned by Reliance Financial comprise, to the best knowledge of Reliance
         Financial, approximately 7.9% of the Securities outstanding. RIC has
         sole voting and dispositive power over the Securities beneficially
         owned by Reliance Financial.

                  As a result of the increase in the number of shares of the
         Security outstanding, the Securities beneficially owned by Saul P.
         Steinberg, which total 621,424 shares, to the best knowledge of Saul P.

         Steinberg, comprise 7.3% of the Securities outstanding. Subject to the
         Security Agreement disclosed in Item 6 herein, Saul P. Steinberg has
         sole voting and dispositive power over the Securities beneficially
         owned by him.

                  To the best knowledge of Reliance Financial, the other persons
         named in Item 2 hereof do not own in the aggregate more than 5,000
         shares of the Security except for Bruce L. Sokoloff who, to the best
         knowledge of Reliance Financial, beneficially owns 46,000 shares of the
         Security, including 30,000 shares which Mr. Sokoloff has the right to
         acquire pursuant to currently exercisable options. Except as set forth
         in Item 6 below, neither Reliance Financial nor Saul P. Steinberg, nor
         to Reliance Financial's knowledge, any of the other persons named in
         Item 2 hereof has effected any transaction in the Security during the
         60 days preceding the date of this filing.


         ITEM 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
                  Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
                  Issuer.

                  The last paragraph of Item 6 is amended to read in its
         entirety as follows:
