         Indicate by check mark whether the Registrant (1) has filed all reports
required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of

       Indicate by check mark if disclosure of delinquent  filers  pursuant to
Item 405 of Regulation S-K is not contained  herein,  and will not be contained,
to the best of  Registrant's  knowledge,  in  definitive  proxy  or  information
statements  incorporated  by  reference  in Part III of this Form  10-K/A or any
amendment to this Form 10-K/A [ ]

         At March  1,  2000,  the  aggregate  market  value  of the  voting  and
non-voting stock held by non-affiliates  of Registrant was  approximately  $11.2
million,  based on the  closing  price of the Common  Stock on the Nasdaq  Stock
Market on that date.

         At March 1, 2000, the Registrant had  outstanding  5,518,352  shares of
Common Stock, $.01 par value per share.

This Amendment is being filed to include the information required by Part III of
Form 10-K. The Registrant excluded the information  required by Part III of Form
10-K  because  the  Registrant  intended  to  incorporate  that  information  by
reference to its proxy  statement to be filed in connection with the 2000 Annual
Meeting of its stockholders. However, the Registrant does not expect to file its
definitive proxy statement within the required 120 days of the end of its fiscal
year end, and therefore its required to file this Amendment.

</TABLE>

(1)        All options  are either  incentive  or  non-qualified  stock  options
           granted under the Company's  1995  Incentive  Stock Option Plan.  All
           options were granted with an exercise  price greater than or equal to
           the fair market value on the date of grant.

(2)        Potential realizable values reflect the difference between the option
           exercise  price on the date of grant and the fair market value of the
           Company's Common Stock at the end of the option term, assuming 5% and
           10% compounded  annual  appreciation of the stock price from the date
           of  grant  until  the  expiration  of the  option.  The  5%  and  10%
           appreciation  rates are assumed pursuant to rules  promulgated by the
           SEC and do not  reflect  actual  historical  or  projected  rates  of
           appreciation  of the Common  Stock.  Assuming such  appreciation,  on
           January 1, 2009 the per share value would be $7.23 at 5% or $11.51 at
           10% (based on a fair market value of $4.438 on January 1, 2009, which
           was the grant date for the  option  listed in the table  above).  The
           foregoing values do not reflect appreciation actually realized by the
           Named Executives. See "Option/SAR Exercises and Values," below.


(3)       For purposes of  calculating  these  percentages,  the total number of
          options granted to all employees in fiscal 1999 was 18,879.

Employment  Contracts  and  Termination  of  Employment  and   Change-in-Control
Arrangements

          The  Company is party to  employment  agreements  dated as of June 28,
1995 with each of Messrs. Sinkin, Frey and Rebecchi. Each agreement provides for
an annual base salary,  annual salary increases calculated with reference to the
Consumer Price Index, bonus compensation based on the Company's  performance (as
measured  by its  gross  revenues  and  its  earnings  before  interest,  taxes,
depreciation and amortization), and a monthly car allowance. Bonuses under these
agreements  cannot exceed 100% of an employee's base salary.  If in any year the
Company does not meet the specific  performance  requirements set forth in these
agreements, the Company will be obligated to pay, in lieu of bonus compensation,
incentive compensation pursuant to a management incentive plan. The amounts paid
to each of Messrs.  Sinkin, Frey and Rebecchi under his employment agreement are
set forth above in the "Summary  Compensation  Table." In addition,  the Company
will pay a fee to each of these executives for any Company loans which they have
personally  guaranteed.  Each of these  employment  agreements also provides for
continued payments of salary, bonus and incentive  compensation for two years in
the event of the death,  disability or termination without cause of the officers
party to these agreements.  These agreements  require the executives to dedicate
substantially  all of their  business  time to the Company's  affairs,  and will
terminate on December 31, 2001.
<PAGE>
          The Company has also entered into employment agreements dated December
15, 1998 with each of Margaret M.  Krumholz  and Frank A. Bress.  The  agreement
with Ms. Krumholz  provides for an annual base salary,  annual salary  increases
calculated with reference to the Consumer Price Index,  bonus compensation based
upon the Company's performance (as described above in relation to the employment
contracts  with Messrs.  Sinkin,  Frey and  Rebecchi),  and monthly car, gas and
cellular  telephone  allowances.  Her agreement also provides for the payment of
salary,  incentive  compensation  and bonus for two years  following  her death,
disability or discharge without cause, which includes a change of control, among
other things.  This agreement will terminate on December 31, 2001. The agreement
with Mr.  Bress  provides  for an annual base salary,  annual  salary  increases
calculated  with  reference to the  Consumer  Price  Index,  bonus  compensation
pursuant to a  management  incentive  plan,  and monthly  car,  gas and cellular
telephone  allowances.  His  agreement  also provides for the payment of salary,
incentive compensation and bonus for one year following his death, disability or
discharge without cause, which includes a change of control, among other things.
This agreement will terminate on December 31, 2001.


REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The  compensation  of the  Company's  executive  officers is  generally
determined by either the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors,  subject to approval by the Board of Directors,  and subject
to applicable employment agreements.  See "Compensation of Executive Officers --
Employment and Change of Control  Arrangements." Each member of the Compensation
Committee, except for Donald Sinkin, is a director who is not an employee of the
Company or any of its affiliates.

         The Company's  compensation programs are intended to enable the Company
to  attract,  motivate,  reward and retain the  management  talent  required  to
achieve its corporate objectives,  and thereby increase shareholder value. It is
the Company's policy to provide  incentives to its senior  management to achieve
both short-term and long-term  objectives and to reward exceptional  performance
and  contributions  to the  development of the Company's  businesses.  To attain
these  objectives,  the  Company's  executive  compensation  program  includes a
competitive base salary, cash incentive bonuses and stock-based compensation.

         Stock  options  are  granted  to  employees,  including  the  Company's
executive  officers,  by the  Compensation  Committee  under the Company's  1995
Incentive  Stock Option Plan. The Committee  believes that stock options provide
an incentive that focuses the executive's attention on managing the Company from
the  perspective  of an owner with an equity  stake in the  business.  Incentive
stock  options are awarded  with an exercise  price equal to the market value of
Common  Stock on the date of grant,  and all options  have a maximum term of ten
years and generally become exercisable not less than six months from the date of
grant. Among the Company's executive  officers,  the number of shares subject to
options  granted to each  individual  generally  depends  upon the level of that
officer's responsibility. Subsequent to the Merger, the largest grants generally
have  been  awarded  to  the  most  senior  officers  who,  in the  view  of the
Compensation  Committee,  have the greatest  potential  impact on the  Company's
profitability and growth.  Previous grants of stock options are reviewed but are
not  considered  the  most  important  factor  in  determining  the  size of any
executive's stock option award in a particular year.

Relationship of Compensation to Performance

         The  Compensation  Committee  annually  establishes,   subject  to  the
approval of the Board of Directors and any applicable employment agreements, the
salaries that will be paid to the Company's executive officers during the coming
year. In setting salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into account several
factors,  including  competitive  compensation  data,  the  extent  to  which an
individual  may  participate in the stock plans  maintained by the Company,  and
qualitative  factors  bearing on an individual's  experience,  responsibilities,
management and leadership abilities, and job performance.

         For fiscal 1999,  pursuant to the terms of their employment  agreements
with the Company,  Donald Sinkin, Stephen Frey and John Rebecchi each received a
base salary and a cash incentive  bonus based on the Company's  pre-tax  income.
See "Compensation of Executive Officers -- Employment  Contracts and Termination
of Employment and Change of Control  Arrangements." Each of Margaret M. Krumholz
and Frank A. Bress  received a base salary and a cash bonus.  In  addition,  Mr.
Bress was granted options under the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan to purchase
1,000  shares at the fair market  value on the date of grant.  The  Compensation
Committee  determined  that these amounts were  appropriate  given the Company's
financial performance, the substantial contribution made by each of Ms. Krumholz
and Mr. Bress to such performance,  and the compensation levels of executives at
companies competitive with the Company.
<PAGE>
Compensation of Chief Executive Officer

         For fiscal 1999, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with
the Company,  Donald Sinkin  received a base salary and a cash  incentive  bonus
based on the Company's pre-tax income.  See "Compensation of Executive  Officers
- -- Employment  Contracts  and  Termination  of Employment  and Change of Control
Arrangements." In light of this employment agreement, the Compensation Committee
was not required to make any decision  regarding  the cash  compensation  of Mr.
Sinkin.

Directors' Compensation

          Directors  who are  officers  of the  Company  receive  no  additional
compensation  for  serving on the Board or any Board  committee.  For 1999,  the
Company paid an annual fee to non-employee  directors of $2,500 each for service
on the  Board,  plus  $1,000  for each  Board and  committee  meeting  attended.
Accordingly,  the Company paid $7,500 to Mr. Friedman and $5,500 to Mr. Zises in
1999.  Pursuant to the 1995  Incentive  Stock Option Plan,  the Company has also
agreed to grant annually to each member of the Incentive Stock Option  Committee
for service on that Committee an option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock
on  January  1 of each  year.  This  arrangement  will  terminate  in  2005,  in
accordance  with the 1995  Incentive  Stock Option Plan. On January 1, 1999, the
Company  granted to Mr.  Friedman and Mr.  Levinson an option to purchase  1,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise  price of $4.438 per share,  which was the
fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant.  These  options vest
on January 1, 2001 and will expire on January 1, 2009.

Compensation  Committee  Interlocks and Insider  Participation  in  Compensation
Decisions

          Each of  Messrs.  Sinkin,  Frey and  Rebecchi  served as an  executive
officer and director of the Company, and also served as an executive officer and
director of Horizon Equities, Inc., a New York corporation. Mr. Sinkin serves on
the Company's Compensation Committee.

          indirectly by members of his  immediate  family;  and options  granted
          under the  Company's  1995  Incentive  Stock  Option  Plan to purchase
          16,000 shares, none of which options were exercisable as of the Record
          Date.


ITEM 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

          From January 1, 1999 to the present,  there have been no  transactions
involving more than $60,000 to which the Company or any of its  subsidiaries was
a party and in which any  executive  officer,  director or nominee for director,
beneficial  owner  of  more  than  5% of  any  class  of  the  Company's  voting
securities,  or member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing  persons,
had  a  material  interest,  except  as  indicated  in  "Item  11  --  Executive
Compensation" above, and as follows.

          The Company  leases a 55,000 square foot  building in  Hauppauge,  New
York from Horizon  Equities  L.P., a Delaware  limited  partnership  ("Horizon")
under a 15 year  lease  that  will  terminate  on  December  31,  2007.  Horizon
Equities,  Inc., the corporate  general partner of Horizon,  is owned by Messrs.
Sinkin, Frey and Rebecchi,  executive officers and directors of the Company, and
one other  employee of the  Company.  The limited  partners of Horizon  include,
among others, Holding Capital (which owns more than five percent of the Company)
and one of its  affiliates,  and Investment  Services Corp., an affiliate of Mr.
Levinson.  The aggregate  payments made by the Company in 1999 for rental of the
building were  $348,000.  The Company  believes that the terms of the building
lease are at least as  favorable  to the Company as the terms for an  equivalent
lease which could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

          Pursuant to the  requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934,  the Company has duly caused this  Amendment  No. 1 to its
Annual  Report  on Form 10-K to be  signed  on its  behalf  by the  undersigned,
hereunto duly authorized.
