The Registrant  hereby amends its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1998 (the "Form 10-K") as follows:

1.   In Part IV, Item 14 of the Form 10-K, Note 8 to the Consolidated  Financial
     Statements, the first paragraph of Note 8 is deleted in its entirety and is
     replaced by the following:

"(8) Stockholders' Equity

     Between  January 1998 and September 1998, the Company  repurchased  216,650
shares  of its  common  stock at a total  purchase  price of $3.9  million.  The
purchases  were  made in  open  market  transactions  pursuant  to a  previously
announced  authorization by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase up to
750,000 shares of common stock based on market conditions."


2.   In Part IV, Item 14 of the Form 10-K, Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial
     Statements is deleted in its entirety and is replaced by the following:

"(15) Subsequent Event

     On  November 9, 1998,  PSI signed a Letter of Intent to sell its  September
30, 1998 DAC Asset for $26.5 million,  which approximated book value, as well as
the right to  receive  .75%  annually  of the future  distribution  fees and the
contingent  deferred  sales charges from the related  Class B shares.  Under the
related  agreements,  the Company will also sell its DAC Asset on future Class B
share sales to the  purchaser  through  November 30, 1999.  The  Purchaser has a
right of first  refusal  on a two year  extension  thereafter.  The  Company  is
required under its existing  Credit  Agreement to use proceeds in excess of $3.0
million  from the sale of its DAC  Asset to pay down its  borrowings  under  the
Credit Agreement and reduce Credit  Agreement  borrowings by 50% of the proceeds
of the sale in excess of $3  million.  The  Company's  credit  facility  will be
reduced by  approximately  $11.8  million as a result of this  transaction.  The
transaction  should result in no gain or loss since the sales price approximated
book value.

     On October 8, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors approved  repurchasing
500,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock  after the  750,000  shares are
repurchased  from the October 1997 Board approval.  In October 1998, the Company
repurchased  255,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at a total  purchase
price of $4.4 million."

     Pursuant  to the  requirements  of Section  13 or 15 (d) of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this amendment to report on
Form  10-K  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by the  undersigned;  thereunto  duly
authorized this 30th day of December 1998.
