     ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          a.   The aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
     beneficially owned by VP as of May 16, 1997 was 577,127, representing
     16.31% of the Issuer's 3,538,000 outstanding shares of Common Stock as
     of March 31, 1997, the date of the share calculation set forth in the
     Issuer's Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1997.  The
     Account directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) beneficially owns 1,450
     shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.04% of the
     Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 1997.  The
     IRA directly (and Mr. Ewing indirectly) beneficially owns 27,752 shares
     of the Issuer's Common Stock, which represents 0.78% of the Issuer's
     outstanding shares of Common Stock as of March 31, 1997.  Except with

     or Messrs. Fisher or Ewing directly owns any shares of Common Stock.  By
     reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, each of
     FEP and Messrs. Fisher and Ewing may be deemed to beneficially own the
     606,329 shares of Common Stock owned by VP, the Account and the IRA, but
     FEP and Mr. Fisher disclaim the beneficial ownership of all 606,329
     shares, and Mr. Ewing disclaims the beneficial ownership of 577,127
     shares, pursuant to Rule 13d-4.

          b.   VP has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of
     the shares of Common Stock owned by it through its general partner, FEP,
     and FEP acts solely through its general partners, Messrs. Fisher and
     Ewing.  Accordingly, each of FEP and Messrs. Fisher and Ewing may be
     deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the
     shares of Issuer's Common Stock owned by VP.

          Mr. Ewing has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of
     Common Stock owned by the Account and the IRA.

          c.   Except as disclosed in Item 3 of Amendment No. 3 and of this
     Amendment No. 4, none of VP, FEP, Messrs. Fisher or Ewing, the Account
     or the IRA has effected any transaction in the Issuer's Common  Stock
     within the past 60 days.

          d.   No person or entity other than VP has the right to receive, or
     the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from
     the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned
     by VP.

          No person or entity other than the Account has the right to
     receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the
     proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
     beneficially owned by the Account.

          No person or entity other than the IRA has the right to receive, or
     the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from
     the sale of, the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock beneficially owned
     by the IRA.

          e.   Not applicable.

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

     As of the date of the execution of this Amendment No. 4, (except for the
separate custodial account agreements for the Account and the IRA by and
between Mr. Ewing and Fiduciary Trust Company, the custodian of such
accounts, which Mr. Ewing does not believe to be applicable under Item 6),
none of VP, FEP, Messrs. Fisher or Ewing, the Account or the IRA is a party
to any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship among themselves
or with any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer,
including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the Common Stock,
finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls,
guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, the giving or withholding
of proxies or pledge or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of
which would give another person voting or investment power over the Common
Stock, other than the
