DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Portions of the Company's definitive proxy statement for its annual meeting to 
be held January 8, 1997, are incorporated by reference in Part III of this 
Form 10-K.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters 
is hereby amended to include the following information pursuant to Item 701 of 
Regulation S-K:

	On August 19, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a 
private placement of its newly created Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, 
$1.00 par value per share, and Warrants (the Warrants) to purchase shares of 
the Company's Common Stock, $.25 par value per share (the Preferred Stock), to 
a group of five accredited investors (the Investors).  The Board also 
authorized granting the Investors certain registration rights with regard to 
the shares of Common Stock underlying the Preferred Stock and the Warrants.  
The closing of the private placement occurred on August 29, 1997.  Based on 
the manner of sale and representations of the Investors, all of which were 
accredited, the Company believes that pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D, 
the private placement was a transaction not involving any public offering 
within the meaning of section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 
and was, therefore, exempt from the registration requirements thereof.

Preferred Stock.  

	The Company sold an aggregate of 15,000 shares of the Preferred Stock to 
the Investors for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000, pursuant to the 
Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement among the Company and the 
Investors (the Agreement).  Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the 
Company has the right, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, to 
require the Investors to purchase shares of Series C Convertible Preferred 
Stock, par value $1.00 per share, with terms identical to the Preferred Stock 
(Series C Preferred Stock), for an aggregate additional purchase price of up 
to $15,000,000.  If the Company exercises its right to sell any shares of the 
Series C Preferred Stock, it may not sell less than $1,000,000 worth of the 
Series C Preferred Stock.  

	The Preferred Stock is entitled to 5% dividends, payable upon 
conversion, in shares of Common Stock or cash, at the option of the Company.  
The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock 
at any time.  Each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to convert each share 
of Preferred Stock into that number of shares of Common Stock that equals 
$1,000 plus accrued dividends divided by the Conversion Price.  The Conversion 
Price is (1) the lesser of 110% of the average per share market value of the 
Company's Common Stock for five (5) business days immediately preceding August 
28, 1997, or (2) 101% of the average of the five lowest consecutive per share 
market values during the thirty (30) business days immediately preceding the 
conversion date.  The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for certain 
dilution and market price events.  

	Under certain circumstances, when the Company's Common Stock trades at 
less than $20 per share for ten (10) consecutive business days, the conversion 
rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock are limited pursuant to the 
Agreement.  

	The Company may require holders of Preferred Stock to convert to Common 
Stock provided that the Company's Common Stock trades at certain pre-set price 
levels.  The Company may also redeem the Preferred Stock under certain 
circumstances.  The Company is obligated to redeem the Preferred Stock, at the 
option of the holders, in the event the Company defaults under certain 
obligations which are part of the terms of the Preferred Stock.  

	Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company's Chief Executive 
Officer and Vice President, Finance have executed a lock-up agreement, 
pursuant to which each of them committed not to sell more than 10% of the 
shares of the Company's Common Stock beneficially owned by him for a period of 
forty-five (45) days following August 29, 1997, and for the forty-five (45) 
day period following any closing for the Series C Preferred Stock.  The Lock 
Up period expires prior to the end of the 45-day period if a registration 
statement covering the Preferred Stock and Warrants or Series C Preferred, as 
the case may be, is declared effective.  The Lock-Up Agreements exclude the 
exercise and sale of shares issued to the officers under the Company's stock 
option or similar plans.  

	The Agreement between the Company and the Investors, and the Certificate 
of Designation for the Preferred Stock, are incorporated herein by reference 
as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to the Company's Report on Form 8-K filed on September 
10, 1997.  The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Preferred Stock 
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference 
to such exhibits.  

Warrant.  

	In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company also 
granted to each Investor a Warrant to purchase shares of the Company's Common 
Stock.  The aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock the Company is 
obligated to issue under the Warrants is 67,812 at an exercise price of $27.65 
per share.  The form of Warrant issued by the Company to the Investors is 
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 4.3 to the Company's Report on 
Form 8-K filed on September 10, 1997.  

Registration Rights.  

	The Company granted the Investors certain registration rights.  The 
registration rights cover all shares of Common Stock issuable to the Investors 
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, whether Series B or Series C, and upon 
exercise of the Warrants.  The Company is obligated to file a shelf 
Registration Statement within twenty-five (25) days of August 29, 1997 on Form 
S-3.  If the Company issues to the Investors any Series C Preferred Stock, the 
Company is obligated to file an additional shelf Registration Statement within 
twenty-five (25) days of the closing date for the sale of such Series C 
Preferred Stock.  

	The Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Investors 
specifying the terms of the registration rights is incorporated herein by 
reference as Exhibit 4.4 to the Company's Report on Form 8-K filed on 
September 10, 1997.   The foregoing description of the Registration Rights 
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference 
to such Exhibit.   

Use of Proceeds.

	The proceeds from the private placement will be used by the Company to 
pay expenses associated with operations at the Longmont Facility and for 
capital expenditures.  The Company will not receive any proceeds from the 
resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable to the Investors upon conversion 
of the Preferred Stock. If the Warrants are exercised in full, the Company 
will receive approximately $1,875,000.  Such amount is intended to be used by 
the Company for working capital purposes. There can be no assurance, however, 
that the Warrants will be exercised.
