Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

                  options held by the reporting person, or a total of 4,240,436
                  shares, thereby giving the reporting person beneficial
                  ownership of 14.99% of the Company's outstanding shares.

         (b)      Number of Shares as to which, on the date referred to on the
