Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds and Other
          Consideration.
     
     Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended and
supplemented as follows:

     The net investment cost (including commissions)
 is $787,910 for the 94,200 Shares acquired by FCP since the filing 
of the prior Schedule 13D, $848,418 for the 101,700 Shares acquired  
by FCIP since the filing of the prior Schedule 13D, $304,688 for the 37,500

amount of borrowings, if any, used to acquire the Shares.

Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and
restated in its entirety  as follows:

     The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares  
is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Shares by 
each of the Partnerships and the Managed Accounts 
were made in the ordinary course of business and 
were not made for the purpose of acquiring control 
of the Company.

     Although no Reporting Person has any specific 
plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of Shares, consistent
 with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person 
at any time and from time to time may acquire additional 
Shares or dispose of any or all of its Shares depending 
upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the 
Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment 
opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting 
Person and/or other investment considerations. No
 Reporting Person has made a determination regarding 
a maximum or minimum number of Shares which it 
may hold at any point in time.

     Also, in order to maximize and protect the 
value of their investment in the Company, the 
Reporting Persons have and may engage in communications
with one or more shareholders of the Company, 
one or more officers of the Company, one or more members 
of the board of directors of the Company and/or 
potential investors in the Company regarding the 
Company, including but not limited to its operations.

     Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed 
a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has 
any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result 
in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through 
(j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 
13D.  The Reporting
PAGE

Persons may, at any time and
