Paul J. Montle (the "Reporting Person") hereby files this Amendment No. 4
to his Statement on Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 4 is being filed to correct
an inadvertent overstatement, contained in Amendment No. 3 to the Reporting
Person's Statement on Schedule 13D, of the number of shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, issued by LS Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), and directly owned by the Reporting Person. This Amendment No.
4 merely corrects the overstatement and updates the Reporting Person's
percentage ownership as of the date hereof (and notes the changes in the
Reporting Person's and the Company's addresses), while otherwise restating
Amendment No. 3 in its entirety.
ITEM 1. Security and Issuer
The class of equity securities to which this statement relates is the
common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") issued by LS Capital
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), which has its principal
executive offices at Rivercourt, 17 - 19 Sir John Rogersons Quay, Dublin 2,
Ireland.
ITEM 2. Identity and Background
This Statement is being filed by Paul J. Montle (the "Reporting
Person"), whose principal business address is Rivercourt, 17 - 19 Sir John
Rogersons Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland. The Reporting Person is principally engaged
as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Reporting
Person is a United States citizen. During the last five years, the Reporting
Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding. During the last five
years, the Reporting Person has not has been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of
such proceeding, is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject
to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Reporting Person acquired an option to purchase 290,000 shares of
Common Stock pursuant to the authorization of a committee appointed by the Board
of Directors of the Company. The Reporting Person anticipates that if he
exercises all or any portion of such option, he will use personal funds to
acquire the optioned Common Stock, although circumstances may be such at the
time of his exercise that the Reporting Person may elect to borrow or otherwise
procure amounts necessary to exercise such option.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction
On February 3, 1998, pursuant to the authorization of a committee
appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Reporting Person was
granted an option to purchase 290,000 shares of Common Stock. The per-share
exercise price for the optioned shares is $.341. The option is fully vested, and
all 290,000 optioned shares may be acquired at any time until the option's
expiration on February 2, 2008. The option was authorized as an incentive option
for the purpose of giving to the Reporting Person the incentive to work hard as
an officer and a director of the Company to promote the success of the Company's
business.
The Reporting Person intends to hold his shares of Common Stock for
investment, and does not have any present plans or proposals which relate to or
would result in: (i) any acquisition by any person of additional securities of
the Company, or any disposition of securities of the Company; (ii) any
extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) any sale or
transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of
the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material
change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (vi) any
other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (vii)
any changes in the Company's charter, by-laws, or other instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Company by any person; (viii) any termination of registration
pursuant to section 12(g)(4) of the Act of a class of equity securities of the
Company; or (ix) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Person may determine to
change his investment intent with respect to the Company at any time in the
future. In reaching any conclusion as to his future course of action, the
Reporting Person will take into consideration various factors, such as the
Company's business and prospects, other developments concerning the Company,
other business opportunities available to the Reporting Person, developments
with respect to the business of the Reporting Person, and general economic and
stock market conditions, including, but not limited to, the market price of the
Common Stock. The Reporting Person may, depending on other relevant factors,
acquire additional shares of Common Stock in open market or privately negotiated
transactions, dispose of all or a portion of his holdings of shares of Common
Stock or change his intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred
to in this Item.

Common Stock for which he has sole voting and investment power.
In addition to the above, trusts for the benefit of the Reporting
Person's children separately own an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock.

the Act nor for any other purpose or under any other provision of the Act or
rules promulgated thereunder, that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner
of such shares.
