Item 4.  Ownership

        See cover sheets. The 30,860 shares owned beneficially by Mr. Abidor are
subject to stock options held by Mr. Abidor, which expire on March 6, 1996.
3,750 of the shares owned beneficially by Mr. Monier are subject to warrants
owned by Mr. Monier. Mr. Monier disclaims beneficial ownership of 24,157 shares
owned by M & M Partners (of which Mr. Monier's two daughters are limited
partners). 15,000 of the shares as to which Mr. Herrick has shared voting and
dispositive power are owned by The Herrick Family Foundation, of

                                Page 6 of 9 Pages

which Mr. Herrick and his wife are trustees. 5,000 of the shares as to which
Messrs. Herrick and Monier have shared voting and dispositive power are owned by
Woodhaven Capital Corp. of which such persons are stockholders, officers and
directors. Mr. Herrick, as general partner of Herrick Partners, L.P., is deemed
to beneficially own the 546,725 shares beneficially owned directly by Herrick
Partners, L.P. Such 546,725 shares, the 15,000 shares now owned by the Herrick
Family Foundation and 548,200 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Monier were
formerly subject to a voting trust agreement, pursuant to which Messrs. Abidor,
Herrick and Monier shared voting power as voting trustees until the dissolution
of such voting trust on March 7, 1995. Statements on Schedule 13D were filed by
(i) Mr. Monier and (ii) Mr. Herrick and Herrick Partners, L.P. in October 1996.
Accordingly, such persons will no longer be reporting their ownership of shares
on Schedule 13G.

Item 5.  Ownership of Five Percent or less of a Class

        Mr. Abidor owns less than five percent of the common stock and,
accordingly, is no longer required to file a Statement on Schedule 13G. As noted
in Item 4, the other persons filing this Statement on Schedule 13G have reported
their ownership on Schedule 13D and, therefore, will not be reporting on
Schedule 13G in the future. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 3 is the final
Schedule 13G filing for the reporting persons.
