         THIS  AMENDMENT NO. 9 RELATES TO THE SCHEDULE 13D  ORIGINALLY  FILED ON
BEHALF OF THE REPORTING  PERSONS ON APRIL 4, 1996.  THE TEXT OF ITEM 4 IS HEREBY
AMENDED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING:

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

         On August 18, 1997, HAC, Inc. ("HAC"),  a Reporting  Person,  commenced
litigation  against the Issuer in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware
seeking  expedited  declaratory  and  injunctive  relief to compel the Issuer to
promptly hold an Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the  "Litigation").  The Issuer
has not held an Annual Meeting since  December,  1995. The terms of three of the
Issuer's  five  directors  were  scheduled to expire at the 1996 and 1997 Annual
Meeting. At the next Annual Meeting,  HAC will seek to replace a majority or all
of the Board of Directors with the nominees of HAC.

         In the Litigation,  HAC requests, among other things, that the Court of
Chancery  issue an order (a)  requiring  the  Issuer  to hold an Annual  Meeting
promptly; (b) declaring that two classes of Directors who were to have stood for
election  in 1996 and 1997 are to stand for  election at such  meeting;  and (c)
declaring  that a vote be held at the Annual Meeting on HAC's proposal to remove
all the incumbent  Directors without cause pursuant to the Issuer's  Certificate
of Incorporation.
        
         On August  18,  1997,  HAC  formally  demanded  a copy of the  Issuer's
Stockholders' List pursuant to Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware.

complete and correct.  This statement may be executed in multiple  counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall  constitute one
