ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         The shares of Common Stock described in Item 5 were purchased for

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         (a)  See Schedule A hereto and cover pages for each individual filing 
this Schedule.

         (b)  The spouse of Mr. Salomon Levis owns 12,702 shares of the 
Company's Common Stock which have been included in the total amount of shares
owned by Salomon Levis.  The inclusion of the 12,702 shares of Common Stock 
owned by Salomon Levis' spouse in this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as
an admission that Mr. Levis is the beneficial owner of such shares for purposes
of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

         Furthermore, the filing of this Schedule 13D by each of the reporting 
persons shall not be construed as an admission that the shares of any such
person are beneficially owned by any of the other individuals reporting
hereunder for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Except for the 12,702 shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. Salomon Levis'
spouse, each of the persons filing this Schedule has the sole power to vote or
direct the vote and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of all
shares of Common Stock owned by him or her, subject to the community property 
laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

         Since none of the individuals filing this Schedule individually own 5%
of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, the persons filing 
this Schedule disclaim that the provision of Section 13(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder are applicable to their
respective holdings of the Company's Common Stock.
