         This Amendment Statement is filed on behalf of all persons and entities
and participants of Resource Management,  Inc., an entity incorporated under the
laws of the  State of Ohio and  commonly  known as the  Maxus  Investment  Group
(hereinafter  "MIG"),  Richard  A.  Barone,  an  individual   (hereinafter  "Mr.

laws of the State of Ohio  (hereinafter  "GMAM") and Maxus  Securities  Corp, an
entity  incorporated  under the laws of the State of Ohio  (hereinafter  "MSC").
Please  note that, with the exception of 15,000 shares controlled by Maxus Asset

aforementioned  person and entities are  collectively  referred to herein as the
"Filing Persons". The business address of the aforementioned person and entities
is 1301 East Ninth Street, 36th Floor, Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1800.

         The Filing Persons each disclaim  membership in a Group as such term is
defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules
and Regulations  promulgated thereunder.  However,  because of the relationships
between and among the Filing Persons described  herein,  they determined to make

dispose  of the Shares  owned by the  investment  clients  for which they act as

meaning of Rule 13(d)(3) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934) 408,000 Shares
purchased  by GMAM for the account of its  investment  clients.  GMAM  disclaims
beneficial ownership of such Shares.
<PAGE>
Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction

         The Filing Persons acquired Shares to establish investment positions in
the Issuer.  Subject to market and business  conditions and other  factors,  the
Filing Persons may intend to purchase additional Shares. However, depending upon
such factors,  the Filing Persons may also maintain  their present  ownership of
Shares or sell some or all of the Shares.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(1) These  Shares are owned by  investment  clients of  GMAM  and MAM  who
may  be  deemed  to beneficially  own these  Shares by reason of their power to

such clients.  GMAM  may, however, disclaims beneficial  ownership  of all such
Shares. (2) MSC disclaims  beneficial  ownership of all such Shares.   (3)  Mr.
