Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) - (b) As a holder of sole voting and  investment  authority  over the shares
owned by FamCo Value Income  Partners,  L.P. and FamCo  Offshore,  Ltd. and as a
holder of the  Issuer's  shares  directly,  Mr.  Funsten may be deemed,  for the
purposes  of Rule  13d-3  under the  Securities  and  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as
amended,  to be the  beneficial  owner of a total of  372,075  shares and 90,937
Warrants owned by himself and those entities.  Based upon the combined ownership
of the  shares  and the  Warrants,  Mr.  Funsten  may be deemed  to own,  in the
aggregate, approximately 12.83% (1) of the Issuer's 3,518,231 shares outstanding
as of October 31, 1998 (based upon information obtained from the Issuer's latest

Mr. Funsten has no direct or indirect pecuniary interest. An employee of Funsten
Asset Management Company ("Management  Company") owns an additional 4,100 shares
which cannot be sold or further added to without  permission  by Mr.  Funsten by
virtue of restrictions  that are placed on securities  transactions by employees
of the  Management  Company;  however,  Mr.  Funsten has no investment or voting
authority over the shares of said employee and Mr. Funsten  expressly  disclaims
beneficial ownership of such shares.

(c) The following presents a list of purchases (including acquisitions by way of
distributions)  and  sales of all  shares by Mr.  Funsten,  FamCo  Value  Income
Partners,  L.P. and FamCo Offshore,  Ltd. within the last 60 days, including the

(1) The percentage  was  calculated by adding 372,075 shares to 90,937  Warrants
and by dividing the sum by the sum of 3,518,231 shares  (outstanding) and 90,937
(number of Warrants).

(2) These  shares were  purchased in a block and  allocated  to Mr.  Funsten and
FamCo Value Income Partners, L.P. These transactions were inadvertently reported
as open market purchases in the original 13D filed on January 11, 1999.
