executive offices at 3646 West 2100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84120.

         Item 2.           Identity and Background.

         (a)      This Schedule 13D is filed by Jack A. Benaroya.

         (b)      Mr. Benaroya's business address is 1001 Fourth Avenue Plaza,
Suite 4700, Seattle, Washington 98154.

         (c)      Mr. Benaroya's principal occupation or employment is acting as

         (d)-(e) During the last five years, Mr. Benaroya has not been convicted
in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors)
and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative
body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in or caused him to be subject to

any violation with respect to such laws.

         (f)      Mr. Benaroya is a citizen of the United States.

1994 and January 13, 1995 in open market transactions for an aggregate purchase
price of $189,680 in cash.


- -------------------------

filed.

         Mr. Benaroya acquired 125,000 units, each comprised of one share of

         Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction.

         Mr. Benaroya acquired the shares of Common Stock and warrants reported

investments in his portfolio, he would from time to time conduct a review of the
performance and condition of particular investments, of the performance and
balance of his entire portfolio, of potential investment or liquidity
opportunities and his needs for liquidity, and of conditions in the securities
markets and general economic conditions. Mr. Benaroya will continue to consider
various alternative courses of action and will in the future either maintain his
current equity position in the Company or take such other actions with respect
to the Company (which may likely include periodic liquidations or distributions
of the Common Stock and warrants reported herein) as he deems appropriate in
light of the circumstances existing from time to time.

         Mr. Benaroya has no current plans or proposals that relate to or would
result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of
Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

the Common Stock representing approximately 6.9% of the Common Stock
outstanding. The 729,018 figure includes 635,000 shares owned currently, 63,571

upon conversion of the $100,000 promissory note described herein and interest
thereunder. All of the warrants are currently exercisable and the promissory
note and accrued interest is currently convertible. The percentages in this
Schedule 13D are based on the 10,524,338 shares of Common Stock
