           the Corporation in a Private Placement.

  Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:
            The sole purpose of the acquisition of these securities was as an
            investment in accordance with Filer's election as a Business

            has the right to elect one member to the Board of Directors of
            the Company.  The Filer has not yet made a decision whether it
            will elect such right.

            receive 7 1/2% dividend from the Company if earned.  Said
            dividend shall be cumulative if not paid.

  Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER:
       a.   On September 23, 1994, the Filer purchased 36,000 shares of the
            Company's Series A Cumulative Convertible  Preferred Stock,
            initially convertible into 600,000 shares of the Company's Common
            Stock.  The 36,000 shares were purchased for $100 per share.  The
            Company received $3,600,000 from the proceeds of the sale to the
            Filer.  The details of this transaction are more fully described
            in the original Schedule 13D filed in 1994.

            On March 29, 1996, the Filer purchased for the Company 4,000
            shares of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock         
            ("Series B Preferred Stock") initially convertible into 80,000
            shares of Common Stock.

            The Filer holds 100% of the Series A Cumulative Convertible
            Preferred Stock.  If the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B
            Preferred Stock was converted as of the date of this filing,
            Filer would own 21% of the Company's Common Stock.

       b.   The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote
            upon all matters presented to the stockholders, together with the
            holders of Common Stock as one class, except (i) as otherwise
            required by law and (ii) with respect to the election of
            Directors to the Company's Board of Directors.  Each share of
            Series B Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to that
            number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
            into which one share of Series B Preferred Stock would have been
            convertible, if such conversion had taken place on the record
            date set for determining stockholders entitled to vote at a
            meeting or the date of the consent of stockholders if action is
            being taken by written consent.  At any meeting of the
            shareholders of the Company at which directors are elected to the
            Company's Board of Directors, the holders of shares of Series A
            and Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting
            separately as a class, to elect one director to the Board of
            Directors.  Such election by the holders of the Series A and
            Series B Preferred Stock shall be effected by the vote of the
            holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series A
            and Series B Preferred Stock.

            If the Company (1) fails to pay in whole or in part for four (4)
            or more cumulative quarterly dividends on a Series A Preferred
            Stock as provided for in paragraph 2 or (2) if a Default as
            defined in Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and
            Renaissance Capital Growth & Income Fund III, Inc. remains
            uncured for twelve (12) months, the Series A and Series B
            Preferred Stock shall have the right to elect the smallest number
            of directors constituting a majority of the authorized number of
            directors of the Company, and the holders of the Common Stock
            shall have the right to elect the remaining directors.

       d.   Not Applicable

       e.   Not Applicable
