     (d)    Relatives of Jared E. Abbruzzese have the right to receive and
the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, and the proceeds from the
sale of, an aggregate of 229,000 shares of Common Stock which Jared E.
Abbruzzese had gifted to such relatives but over which Jared E. Abbruzzese
retains voting control.  Such interests do not relate, individually or in the
aggregate, to more than five percent of the outstanding Common Stock
as of June 10, 1996.

     (e)    Not applicable.


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

On May 30, 1996 Corotoman disposed of 10,000 shares of Common Stock to each
of two third parties upon exercise by such individuals of options written
by an entity affiliated with Corotoman and Jared E. Abbruzzese (the "Affiliated
Entity").  Corotoman also disposed of 5,000 shares of Common Stock to each
 
of two other individuals upon exercise by such individuals of options
written by the Affiliated Entity.  The aforementioned four individuals have
remaining in the aggregate options to acquire 35,000 shares of Common Stock,
none of which are exercisable in the next six months.

Jared E. Abbruzzese maintains sole voting power over the 229,000 shares
of Common Stock that he disposed of by gift to the individuals referenced in
Item 5(d) pursuant to a voting agreement entered into by Jared E. Abbruzzese
