Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      (a)   Aspect beneficially owns an aggregate of 4,661,856 shares of Common
            Stock, representing approximately 24.89% of the issued and
            outstanding Common Stock. Such shares include 18,750 shares issuable
            upon the exercise of warrants.

      (b)   Aspect is a limited liability company that is managed by Aspect
            Management Corporation ("Aspect Management"). Alex M. Cranberg
            and his wife own all of the stock of Aspect Management. Mr.
            Cranberg and other entities controlled by Mr. Cranberg own
            approximately 62% of Aspect. Mr. Cranberg and his wife are the
            only directors of Aspect Management. By reason of his ownership
            in Aspect Management and Aspect, Mr. Cranberg may be deemed to
            possess, indirectly, shared power to vote and dispose of the
            Common Stock. The filing of this Statement on Schedule 13D shall
            not, however, be construed as an admission that, for purposes of
            Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
            amended, any person other than Aspect has beneficial ownership of
            the Common Stock.

      (c)   On September 15, 1999, Aspect purchased 275,000 shares of Common
            Stock in a private transaction.

      (d)   Aspect Management and Mr. Cranberg have the power to direct the
            receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
            securities set forth in this Schedule 13D/A-2.

      (e)   Not Applicable.

Item 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      The Company has entered into a registration rights agreement (the
"Registration Rights Agreement") with Aspect (among others). Subject to certain
conditions, Aspect has three demand registration rights exercisable at any time
after June 30, 1998. Aspect has utilized one of the three demand registration
rights, and a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 has been filed and declared
effective with respect to, among others, the resale of the 4,203,106 shares
issued to Aspect in connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the 18,750
shares issuable to Aspect upon the exercise of outstanding warrants. In
addition, the Registration Rights Agreement affords to Aspect the right to
participate in registrations initiated by the Company or, under certain
conditions, another party.

      The entity that sold Aspect 275,000 shares of Common Stock on September 5,
1999 has a right of repurchase such shares, which right expires on
May 5, 2000 if not exercised on or before such date.
