ITEM 4.  OWNERSHIP.

         (a)      Amount beneficially owned:

                  LFC:     150,000 shares
                  RBP:      50,000 shares

                  RBP previously reported the shares beneficially owned by LFC
                  as beneficially owned by RBP but disclaimed beneficial
                  ownership of such shares, except to the extent such beneficial
                  ownership arose out of his service as an officer and director
                  of LFC. RBP resigned as an officer and director of LFC on
