                                                       PAGE 5 OF 9
Item 4.      Purpose of the Transaction.

     On December 29, 2000, the Ravich Revocable Trust purchased an
aggregate of 81,441 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Preferred Shares") of the Issuer for general investment purposes.  The
Preferred Shares were acquired from Apollo Investment Fund III, L.P., Apollo
Overseas Partners III, L.P. and Apollo (U.K.) Partners, L.P. (collectively, the
"Sellers") negotiated in a private transaction, pursuant to a Transfer
Agreement dated as of December 26, 2000 by and among the Ravich Revocable Trust
and the Sellers (the "Transfer Agreement").

     The Reporting Persons retain the right to acquire, or cause to be
acquired, additional securities of the Issuer, to dispose of, or cause to be
disposed, such securities at any time or to change their investment intent,
formulate other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the securities, to the
extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and trading policies of
the Reporting Persons, market conditions or other factors.  In the event of a
material change in the present plans of the Reporting Persons, the Reporting
Persons will amend this Schedule 13D to reflect such change.

     Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any
plans or proposals which would relate to or result in any of the transactions
described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

     The terms of the Transfer Agreement are incorporated herein by
reference.  The foregoing description of certain terms of the Transfer
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such agreement.

Item 5.      Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

             (a)  Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Ravich Revocable
Trust acquired 81,441 Preferred Shares which are presently convertible into
3,393,375 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.  Accordingly, the Ravich
Revocable Trust beneficially owns 3,393,375 shares of the Issuer's Common
Stock, or 19.2% of the Issuer's Common Stock outstanding as of November 9, 2000
(assuming full conversion of the Preferred Shares).  Jess M. Ravich, as trustee
of the Ravich Revocable Trust, may also be deemed to beneficially own the
3,393,375  shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, or 19.2%.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Statement of Resolution of the Preferred
Shares, each Preferred Share is convertible into such number of Shares as is
determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) $1,000 plus (B) any accrued but
unpaid dividends, by (ii) $24 (defined as the "Conversion Price").  The
Statement of Resolution provides that the Conversion Price is adjustable upon
certain capital events of the Issuer (such as certain stock dividends, mergers
and other specified events).

                                                           PAGE 6 OF 9

     Dividends on the Preferred Shares currently accrue at a rate of 10%
per annum on the Stated Value of $1,000 per Preferred Share.  Dividends are
payable in cash or in additional Preferred Shares on a quarterly basis on March
31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.   If the December 31, 2000 dividend
payment is made in the form of additional Preferred Shares, the Reporting
Persons expect to receive approximately 2,036 additional Preferred Shares,
convertible into 84,833 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock representing an
additional 0.48% of the Issuer's Common Stock assuming full conversion of all
Preferred Shares and using the number of shares of Common Stock reported by the
Issuer as outstanding on November 9, 2000.  If subsequent quarterly dividend
payments are made in the form of additional Preferred Shares, the number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons will
increase accordingly. The foregoing description of certain terms of the
Statement of Resolution is qualified in its entirety by the terms thereof.

     The statements in this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an
admission that a Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any Common Stock
other than the Common Stock which such Reporting Person may be deemed the
beneficial owner pursuant to the transactions contemplated herein, for purposes
of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for any
other purpose.

          (b)  The Ravich Revocable Trust has sole voting and investment power
over the shares of Common Stock currently held by it.  Mr. Ravich, as trustee
of the Ravich Revocable Trust, may be deemed to have the sole power to vote and
dispose of the Shares by virtue of his relationship as trustee.

          (c)  None of the Reporting Persons has had any other transaction in
the Common Stock of the Company within the last 60 days.

          (d)  Not Applicable.

          (e)  Not Applicable.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
          to Securities of the Issuer.
