         (b)  Residence or business address: 150 Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, Suite

person is a former director of the Issuer.

         (d) Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings.  Not applicable

         (e) Party to a Civil Proceeding. Not applicable.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or other Consideration.  Not applicable.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         The purpose of the transactions described in Item 5(c) was to comply
with and satisfy the terms of the Letter Agreement and its subsequent amendment
(as defined in Item 5 herein) entered into by reporting person and the Issuer.
Other transactions, described as open market purchases in Item 5(c), were made
for private investment purposes. The reporting person is not interested in, and
has no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in, the items
described in Item 4(a)-(j).

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) Reporting person beneficially owns an aggregate of 647,154 shares
of Common Stock, representing 15.42% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

         (b) As to 219,664 shares, reporting person has sole power to vote and
dispose or direct the disposition thereof. In February 1998, the 20,953 shares
held by Helaine Kaplan, reporting person's wife, as custodian for their two

which Mr. Kaplan is a co-Trustee. 192,500 shares reported herein are purchasable
upon exercise of 175,000 Warrants owned solely by reporting person.

         (c) The Issuer on June 5, 1999 repurchased at a price of $.01 per share
from the reporting person 31,429 Performance Shares (as defined in the Letter
Agreement) of Common Stock, subject to the terms of the Letter Agreement and its
subsequent amendment dated as of April 1, 1996 (the "Letter Agreement"), by and
between the Issuer and the reporting person. The Letter Agreement provides that
of the Performance Shares issued to the reporting person as of the date of the
Letter Agreement, one-half should be repurchased by the Issuer for the par value
thereof in the event that the Issuer does not achieve net income before taxes
("Net Income") of at least $2.0 million during the period of April 1, 1998
through March 31, 1999 ("1999 Fiscal Year"), subject to specific limitations
described therein. As of the end of the Issuer's 1999 Fiscal Year, the Issuer
did not achieve a Net Income of at least $2.0 million and in addition did not
achieve an amount over $1.5 million but under $2.0 million, which would trigger
the specific limitations described within the Letter Agreement, potentially
reducing the amount of shares to be repurchased. Therefore, the Issuer, having
achieved under $1.5 million in Net Income, repurchased the shares specified
above from the reporting person for an aggregate of $314.29 subject to the
terms, conditions and limitations provided in the Letter Agreement, in full
compliance and satisfaction of the terms thereof in connection with the matters
contemplated hereby. On June 22, 1998 reporting person purchased 13,000 shares
of Common Stock, in the open market at the purchase price of $1.7188 per share.
On September 16, 1998 reporting person purchased, in the open market (i) 10,000
shares of Common Stock at the purchase price of $1.81 per share and (ii) 5,000
shares of Common Stock at the purchase price of $1.69 per share. On May 24,
1999 reporting person purchased 12,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.075 per
share. On June 25, 1999 reporting person purchased, in the open market 5,000
shares of Common Stock at the purchase price of $2.02 per share.

         (d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
shares of Common Stock disclosed herein.

         (e) Not applicable.

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

         Mr. Kaplan has executed an agreement (the "Lock-Up Agreement")
providing that all securities which he acquired in 1995 cannot be transferred or
sold for a period of one (1) year from March 19, 1997 and that all securities
