THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 AMENDS AND SUPPLEMENTS THE STATEMENT CONTAINED IN ITEM 5 ON
SCHEDULE 13D ORIGINALLY FILED ON NOVEMBER 26, 1997.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
         ------------------------------------

         (a) (b) The beneficial  ownership and voting and  dispositive  power of
each of the  Reporting  Persons  over Common  Stock of the Issuer as of the date
hereof is as follows:

         (i)          As of the close of business on July 1, 1998, Bedford Falls
                      owns  14.4% of Common  Stock of the  Issuer as a result of
                      Bedford  Falls  exercising  its right of  conversion  with
                      respect  to  its  33,000  Preferred  Shares.  Metropolitan
                      Capital  has  purchased  no shares of Common  Stock of the
                      Issuer for its own account. However,  Metropolitan Capital
                      may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the
                      647,043  shares of Common Stock  purchased for the account
                      of Bedford Falls.

         (ii)         As of the close of business on July 1, 1998,  Metropolitan
                      International  owns  8.3% of  Common  Stock of the  Issuer
                      beneficially  owned  by it,  as a result  of  Metropolitan
                      International  exercising  its  right of  conversion  with
                      respect  to  its  19,000  Preferred  Shares.  Metropolitan
                      Capital III,  Inc. has purchased no shares of Common Stock
                      of the Issuer  solely  for its own  account.  However,  by
                      reason of its position as General  Partner of Metropolitan
                      Capital Partners III, L.P., which has discretionary voting
                      and  dispositive  power  over the  assets of  Metropolitan
                      International,  Metropolitan  Capital  III,  Inc.  may  be
                      deemed to have shared  voting and  dispositive  power over
                      the 372,540  shares of Common Stock owned by  Metropolitan
                      International.

         (iii)        As of the close of business on July 1, 1998,  KJ Advisors,
                      Inc. is the owner of shares of Common  Stock of the Issuer
                      solely by reason of its  position  as  General  Partner of
                      Metropolitan   Capital   Partners   II,  L.P.   which  has
                      discretionary  voting and  dispositive  power over  assets
                      held in the Managed Account.  Thus, by virtue of being the
                      General Partner of Metropolitan Capital Partners II, L.P.,
                      KJ Advisors,  Inc. may be deemed to have shared voting and
                      dispositive  power over the 39,215  shares of Common Stock
                      representing  .87% of Common  Stock of the Issuer  held in
                      the Managed Account.

         (iv)         As of the  close  of  business  on July 1,  1998,  Jeffrey
                      Schwarz may be deemed the  beneficial  owner of  1,210,854
                      shares of Common Stock which  represents 27% of the Issuer
                      as a result of his being a director, executive officer and
                      controlling   stockholder  of  Metropolitan   Capital  and
                      Metropolitan  Capital  III,  Inc.,  a director,  executive
                      officer,  and  controlling  stockholder of KJ Advisors,  a
                      Managing  Member of BGN. In addition,  Jeffrey Schwarz may
                      be deemed an  indirect  beneficial  owner of 5,000  shares
                      held  by a trust  of  which  certain  family  members  are
                      beneficiaries.  Mr. Schwarz disclaims beneficial ownership
                      of such  shares.  Jeffrey  Schwarz  does not  have  direct
                      beneficial  ownership of any shares of Common Stock of the
                      Issuer other than through such positions.

         (v)          As of the  close  of  business  on  July  1,  1998,  Karen
                      Finerman may be deemed the beneficial  owner of 1,205, 854
                      shares  of  Common  Stock  which  represents  26.9% of the
                      Common  Stock of the  Issuer  as a result  of her  being a
                      director and executive officer of Metropolitan  Capital, a
                      director,    executive    officer   and   stockholder   of
                      Metropolitan  Capital  III,  Inc.,  a director,  executive
                      officer, and controlling stockholder of KJ Advisors, and a
                      Managing   Member  of  BGN.   Karen   Finerman   does  not
                      beneficially  own any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
                      other than through such positions.
