ONLY THOSE ITEMS WHICH ARE HEREBY REPORTED ARE
AMENDED. ALL OTHER ITEMS REMAIN UNCHANGED. ALL
DEFINED TERMS SHALL HAVE THE SAME MEANING AS
PREVIOUSLY ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THE ORIGINAL FILING
OF SCHEDULE 13D, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a) Alphi is the beneficial owner of 667,200 Shares,
consisting of (1) 67,200 shares of Common Stock, (2) 150,000 shares
of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 300,000
shares of Common Stock, and (3) 150,000 warrants, each warrant
exercisable for two shares of Common Stock at $1.00 per Share, for
a total of 300,000 shares of common stock, which is 4.9%, based on
13,420,860 Shares currently outstanding as of December 20, 1996.
This latter number of shares is arrived at by adding (1) the number
of shares outstanding in the Issuer's most recently filed Form 10-Q
(10,240,860 shares) to (2) the number of common shares the preferred
stock is convertible into from the most recently filed Form 10-Q
(2,880,000 shares) and to (3) the number of shares represented by
warrants currently exercisable by Alphi at $1 per Share (300,000 shares).
(b) AIMCO, in its capacity as general partner of Alphi,
has the sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of 667,200 Shares
owned by Alphi. Individual limited partners of Alphi (but not the
principals of AIMCO) may own Shares which are not included in the
aggregate number of Shares reported in Item 5(a) above.
(c) During the sixty (60) days preceding the date
hereof, Alphi entered into the following transactions on behalf of itself:
Date Sold Number of Shares Sold Price
12/12/96 18,300 0.20
12/13/96 11,900 0.19
12/16/96 14,300 0.19
12/17/96 23,200 0.18
12/18/96 13,500 0.15
12/19/96 14,000 0.13
12/20/96 22,800 0.13
These sales were open market transactions executed on the NASDAQ
National Market System.
(d) No person other than AIMCO, in its capacity
as general partner of Alphi, has the right to receive nor the power to
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of
Shares.
(e) Not applicable
