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

                  The aggregate  purchase  price of the 506,500 Shares of Common
Stock  acquired by Lone Star is  $2,092,742.55.  The source of the funds used to
make the purchases was working capital.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

                  Lone Star  purchased  the  Shares of the  Issuer  based on its
belief  that the  Shares at  current  market  prices  appeared  to  represent  a
potentially attractive investment opportunity. After conducting further analysis
of its investment in the Issuer, the Company has decided to reduce its position.
Lone Star intends to review its  investment in the Issuer on a continuing  basis
and, depending on various factors including,  without  limitation,  the Issuer's
financial  position  and  investment  strategy,  the price  levels of the Common
Stock,  conditions in the securities  markets and general  economic and industry
conditions,  may in the future take such actions with respect to its  investment
in the Issuer as it deems appropriate  including,  without  limitation,  selling
some or all of its Shares,  purchasing  additional  Shares of Common Stock or to
change its intention with respect to any and all matters  referred to in Item 4.
No Reporting  Person has any present  plan or proposal  which would relate to or
result in any of the matters set forth in  subparagraphs  (a) - (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D except as set forth herein.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a)  The  aggregate  percentage  of  Shares  of  Common  Stock
reported owned by Lone Star is based upon 9,305,408 Shares outstanding, which is
the  total  number of Shares of Common  Stock  outstanding  as  reported  in the
Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal  quarter ended June 29,
1997.

                  As of the close of  business  on October  1,  1997,  Lone Star
beneficially  owned 506,500 Shares of Common Stock,  constituting  approximately
5.4% of the Shares outstanding.  All of such Shares were acquired in open-market
transactions.  As described  in Item 5(e) below,  Lone Star has ceased being the
beneficial  owner of more than five percent of the  outstanding  Common Stock of
the  Issuer.   All  of  the  Shares  sold  by  Lone  Star  were  in  open-market
transactions.

                  (b) The  Board of  Directors  of Lone  Star  has the  power to
direct the vote and disposition of the Shares owned by Lone Star.

                  (c) Schedule A annexed  hereto lists all  transactions  in the
Issuer's Common Stock in the last sixty days by the Reporting Persons.

                  (d) No person  other than Lone Star is known to have the right
to receive,  or the power to direct the receipt of dividends  from,  or proceeds
from the sale of, such Shares of the Common Stock.

                  (e) On October 9, 1997,  Lone Star ceased being the beneficial
owner of more than five percent of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock.

Item 6.           Contracts,  Agreements,  Understandings or Relationships  with
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

                  Other  than  as  described  herein,  there  are no  contracts,
arrangements  or  understandings  among the  Reporting  Persons,  or between the
Reporting  Persons and any other Person,  with respect to the  securities of the
Issuer.

Item 7.           Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

                  None
