     This is the second amendment to the Schedule 13D previously filed by the
reporting person with respect to the securities of the issuer set forth on the
cover page hereto (such initial filing, together with any prior amendments
thereto, the "Prior Filing"). This amendment is being filed in order to amend
and restate Item 5 of the Prior Filing in its entirety in connection with sales
of the issuer's preferred stock by affiliates of the reporting person.
 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     (a)  By reason of its serving as managing general partner of Nelson and
          trading manager of Olympus, Citadel may be deemed to be the indirect
          beneficial owner of the Common Stock held by each of Nelson and
          Olypmus, which as of the date for the filing of this statement
          aggregated 90 shares of Common Stock.

     (b)  Citadel has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of
          the Common Stock on behalf of Nelson and Olympus.

     (c)  No transactions with respect to the Issuer's Common Stock have been
          effected during the 60-day period ending May 11, 1996. Effective May
          12, 1997, each of Nelson and Olympus sold all Convertible Securities
          held by each of them to a purchaser affiliated with the Issuer for an
          aggregate amount of consideration equal to $320,000.

     (d)  Nelson and Olympus, as the direct beneficial and legal owners of the
          Common Stock have the right to receive or the power to direct the
          receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the Common
          Stock. However, Citadel, as managing general partner of Nelson and
          trading manager for Olympus, ultimately has the right to direct such
          activities.

     (e)  As of the date for the filing of this statement, Nelson and Olympus
          collectively own less than 5% of the Issuer's Common Stock. As a
          consequence, from and after such date Citadel shall not be deemed to
          be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuer's Common Stock.
