Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  Items 5(a) and (b) are hereby amended and restated as
follows:

                  (a) and (b). The aggregate percentage of shares of Common
Stock reported hereunder is based upon the 12,026,013 shares of Common Stock
outstanding as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 1996. This Schedule 13D does not report 4,000
shares of Common Stock held by Gildea's spouse as custodian for Gildea's
children. Each of Network and Gildea disclaims beneficial ownership of all such
4,000 shares.

         (a)      (i)      Network is the direct beneficial owner of the

                           conversion of the Network Preferred Shares. Gildea
                           may be deemed to be the indirect, beneficial owner
                           of such 746,666 Network Shares. The 746,666 Network
                           Shares represent approximately 5.85% of the
                           outstanding Common Stock (calculated in accordance
                           with Rule 13d-3).

                  (ii)     The 3,000 Gildea Shares directly beneficially owned
                           by Gildea, the 746,666 Network Shares that Gildea
                           may be deemed to indirectly own beneficially and the
                           111,111 remaining Gildea Shares which are issuable
                           upon conversion of the Gildea Preferred Shares that
                           Gildea is the direct beneficial owner of represent
                           in the aggregate approximately 6.68% of the
                           outstanding Common Stock (calculated in accordance
                           with Rule 13d-3).

         (b)      (i)      Network and Gildea may be deemed to share the power
                           to dispose of or direct the disposition of the right
                           to acquire the Network Shares issuable upon 
                           conversion of the Network Preferred Shares.

                  (ii)     Gildea has sole power to vote or to direct the
                           voting, and the sole right to dispose or to direct
                           the disposition, of 3,000 of the Gildea Shares.
                           Gildea has the sole power to dispose of or direct
                           the disposition of the right to acquire the
                           remaining 111,111 Gildea Shares issuable upon
                           conversion of the Gildea Preferred Shares.
