ITEM 9. SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S
The Registrant hereby amends its Current Report on Form 8-K dated December
9, 1997. Pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement dated August 29, 1995 between
the Company and an option holder (the "Optionee"), the Company granted to the
Optionee an option (the "Option") to purchase up to 14,895 shares of the
Company's common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Shares"). On November 25,
1997, the Optionee sought to exercise the Option to acquire 4,895 of the Shares
and immediately transfer such Shares to one or more transferees. To ensure that
no uunregistered distribution of the Shares in violation of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), occurred as a result of such
transfer by the Optionee, the exercise by the Optionee of the Option was
cancelled and such Shares were returned to the Company. Because the issuance of
the Shares was not made in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act,
foregoing Current Report on Form 8-K was not required to be filed.
