Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.


      On July 30, 1996, for cash consideration of $1,400,000 of personal funds,
Mr. Gosman acquired 100 shares of the Company's Series B Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock") which is convertible at an
initial conversion price of $4.16 per share, into 336,538 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Mr. Gosman also acquired a currently exercisable
five-year warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an
initial exercise price of $4.16 per share (the "Warrant"). On September 4, 1996
the Warrant was amended to provide that it shall not be exercisable until

eight (8) months after the Issue Date (July 30, 1996).



Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.

      The Company borrowed $1.0 million for working capital purposes from a
corporation controlled by Mr. Gosman in accordance with a term sheet with
respect to the business combination between the Company, certain of the
Company's subsidiaries and certain companies (the "Related Companies")
controlled by Mr. Gosman (the "Merger"). On July 30, 1996, Mr. Gosman acquired
100 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of the Company for a purchase price
of $14,000 per share or $1.4 million in the aggregate. The Series B Preferred
Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock at a conversion
price equal to $4.16 per share. Concurrently with the sale of the Series B
Preferred Stock to Mr. Gosman, the Company issued to Mr. Gosman five-year
warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise
price equal to $4.16 per share. The Company used the $1.0 million from the
proceeds of its sale of the Series B Preferred Stock to Mr. Gosman to repay the
earlier $1.0 million working capital borrowing. The $400,000 balance of the
proceeds will be used for working capital purposes. Upon consummation of the
Merger, Mr. Gosman will have beneficial ownership of approximately 78.6% of the
Company's Common Stock. Also, at the Effective Time of the Merger (as such term
is defined in the Merger Agreement), Mr. Gosman, and Andrew D. Gosman, Mr.
Gosman's son, shall be appointed to the Board of Directors.


Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                        (a) Mr. Gosman has the right to acquire, and therefore 
                  is deemed to have beneficial ownership of, 336,538 shares of
                  Common Stock (8.3% of all currently outstanding shares of
                  Common Stock).


                        (b) Mr. Gosman has the right to acquire, and therefore
                  is deemed to have beneficial ownership of, 336,538 shares of
                  Common Stock. Should Mr. Gosman elect to convert the Series B
                  Preferred Stock into Common Stock, Mr. Gosman will have the 
                  sole power to vote or to direct the vote and the sole power 
                  to dispose or to direct the disposition of the shares of 
                  Common Stock resulting from such conversion and/or exercise.
