This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on August 28,
1996 (the "Schedule 13D") by James W. Giddens, solely in his capacity as trustee
under SIPA,  with  respect to the Common  Stock of the Issuer.  All  capitalized
terms used in this  Amendment and not otherwise  defined herein have the meaning
set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
        -------------------------------------

(a) The Trustee  believes that, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3(a) under the Act,
as of August  12,  1997,  he was the  beneficial  owner of a total of  1,045,199
Shares of Common Stock, of which 991,874 shares were formerly Pledged Shares and
53,325 were  directly  owned shares of Common Stock  underlying  then  currently
exercisable Unit Purchase Options of the Issuer. The Pledged Shares were pledged
to ARB by 110958 Ontario Inc, Ken Stokes and Eric Broadley (the "Note Obligors")
pursuant to a Secured Demand Note Collateral Agreements for Equity Capital dated
September 4, 1995 (the "Security  Agreements")  by the Note Obligors in favor of
ARB as security for the Note  Obligors'  obligations  pursuant to Secured Demand
Notes dated September 4, 1995 by the Note Obligors in favor of ARB.

(b) The Trustee believes that he has the sole power to vote and direct the vote,
and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, of the Shares.

(c) On August 12, 1997, the Issuer issued  additional  Common Stock,  increasing
the total  outstanding  Common Stock of the Issuer to  26,750,529  shares.  As a
result of this issuance, the Trustee's share ownership in the Issuer was diluted
to approximately  3.9% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on
the  Issuer's  then  current  10-Q  filing  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission).  Accordingly,  the Trustee ceased to be a beneficial  owner of more
than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
