         Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add
the following information.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction
- ------   ----------------------

         Mr. Spier has withdrawn his proposal to acquire the
Company in a transaction in which $6.00 per Share in cash would
have been paid for all Shares.  Mr. Spier cited the continued
refusal of the Company's Board of Directors to seriously
consider the proposal and the majority of the Board's apparent
stubborn commitment to raising unreasonable obstacles to the
proposed transaction.  Mr. Spier stated that he had waited two
months for the Company to respond to his proposal and the Board
had yet to provide him with any basis for concluding that the
proposal would be reviewed fairly and with the interests of the
Company's stockholders placed above those of the Company's
management.  Mr. Spier noted his disappointment that the Board
had chosen to disregard a transaction structured to provide any
objective businessperson with confidence that it would be
consummated and, in any event, fully protected the Company
against all risks that it would not be consummated and which
the Company's financial advisor had stated was economically
feasible.

                            Signature
                            ---------
         After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my

knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth

in this statement is true, complete and correct.
