This Amendment No. 1 dated April 18, 1997 (the "Amendment") to the
Statement on Schedule 13D dated February 26, 1997 (the "Statement") is
filed pursuant to Section 13D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"), by Alexander V. Gancia ("Gancia").
Gancia is hereinafter referred to as the "Reporting Person."
Item 3 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds.
The 7,000 shares of Common Stock over which Gancia has sole voting and
dispositive power were acquired by purchase with Gancia's personal funds.
The 15,000 shares of Common Stock over which Gancia shares voting and
dispositive power with customers of Alex. Brown & Sons Incorporated
("Alex Brown") were acquired by purchase with personal funds of those
customers. Collectively, the 7,000 shares and 15,000 shares are
hereinafter referred to as the "Purchased Shares." The Purchased Shares
were acquired on the dates and at the prices set forth in Schedule A.
Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person, by virtue of Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act, (a) has sole voting and dispositive power over
57,000 shares (approximately 1.4% of the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding as disclosed in the Form 10-KSB of the Company for the
year ended December 31, 1996, filed April 14, 1997, which is the most
recently available filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "10-KSB")) and (b) may be deemed to share voting and
dispositive power over 45,000 shares (approximately 1.0% of the total
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as disclosed in the 10-KSB)
which shares are held in the accounts of customers of Alex Brown over
which the Reporting Person has investment discretion. As a result, Gancia
may be deemed to beneficially own less than 5% of the amount of shares of
the Common Stock of the Company outstanding and therefore, Gancia will
cease to file amendments to Schedule 13D.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act, Gancia hereby
expressly states that the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be
construed as an admission that Gancia is, for the purposes of Section
13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of the 45,000
Shares held in the accounts of the customers of Alex Brown.
Schedule A to this Statement lists all transactions in the Common Stock
of the Company that were effected by the Reporting Person during the
period between the filing of the Statement and the date hereof.
