               Mr. Kasschau's present business address is 990 Stewart
     Avenue, Garden City, New York 11530 and his present principal
     employment is as President of International Contract Furnishings,
     Inc.  Mr. Kasschau is no longer an officer or director of
     Tinicum, Enterprises, RUTCO, Associates or Foreign.

     proceeds of borrowings under the Line of Credit.  In addition,
     Eric Ruttenberg has received an aggregate of 765 Shares from the
     Issuer pursuant to the Issuer's 1988 Long Term Incentive Stock

     ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     represent approximately 17.0% of the 5,854,577 Shares (including
     the Option Shares) disclosed to the Reporting Persons by the
     Issuer as outstanding on such date.  In accordance with Rule 13d-

     Act, Enterprises, Investors II, RUTCO, RIT, JRCML, SJPC, the
     Ruttenbergs, Mr. Crafts and Mr. Kasschau as a group may be deemed

     January 11, 1996, Enterprises, Investors II, RUTCO, RIT, JRCML,
     SJPC, Derald Ruttenberg, Eric Ruttenberg, John Ruttenberg,
     Katherine Ruttenberg, Hattie Ruttenberg, Mr. Crafts and Mr.
