                                                        -------    -------      


         This  Amendment No. 7 relates to the Schedule 13D  originally  filed on
behalf of the Reporting  Persons on April 4, 1996. The text of Items 3 and 5 are
hereby amended by adding the following:


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds.

         The source and amount of funds used by HAC, Inc. to purchase securities
of the Issuer was working  capital.  The approximate  aggregate  amount of funds
used by HAC, Inc. to purchase such securities was $2,291,212.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a)  HAC, Inc. is the  beneficial  owner of 1,147,000  shares of Common
              Stock of the  Issuer,  all of which  were  acquired  in  privately
              negotiated  transactions.  The  total  number  of shares of Common
              Stock  beneficially  owned by HAC, Inc.  represents 20.635% of the
              shares of Common Stock outstanding.

              The  number of  shares  owned and the  percentage  of  outstanding
              shares  represented  thereby,  for each of the Reporting  Persons,
              have  been  computed  in  accordance  with  Rule  13d-3  under the
              Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended.  The  percentage of
              ownership  described  above is based on the 5,558,350  outstanding
              shares of Common Stock of the Issuer reported in the Issuer's Form
              10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996.

         (b)  HAC,  Inc.  has the sole  power to vote or dispose of or to direct
              the voting or to direct the disposition of the Common Stock of the
              Issuer beneficially owned by it.

         (c)  On May 6, 1997,  HAC, Inc.  purchased  1,027,000  shares of Common
              Stock of the  Issuer  at a price of $2.03 per  shares  for a total
              amount of $2,084,810 in a single privately negotiated transaction.
              As a result of such acquisition, The Cross Country Group, Inc. has
              represented to the Issuer that neither it nor its affiliates  will
              seek to change  the  Issuer's  Board of  Directors,  or  otherwise
              exercise  control of the Issuer  prior to  consummation  of Merger
              contemplated  by the  Agreement and Plan of the Merger dated as of
              May 14, 1996, as amended.
