The Schedule 13-D of the filing person is hereby amended as follows:
Item 5 Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of Schedule 13D is amended in its entirety as follows:
"On December 31, 1999, Mr. Lubert ceased to be the beneficial
owner of more than 5% of the Common Stock of PRWW. On that
date, Mr. Lubert sold 916,668 shares in a private transaction
to LLR Equity Partners, LP, an investment fund, of which Mr.
Lubert is a co-founder. The sale price for the transaction was
$6.00 per share."
"After these sales, Mr. Lubert may be deemed the beneficial
owner of 90,666 shares of the Common Stock of PRWW,
representing approximately 1.3% of the outstanding Common
Stock of PRWW (based on 6,862,250 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding as reported in PRWW's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1999)."
"Of such shares, 7,333 shares are owned by a trust for the
benefit of Mr. Lubert's minor daughter. Mr. Lubert has no
ability to vote or direct the vote or to dispose of or direct
the disposition of the shares owned by the trust, and Mr.
Lubert disclaims beneficial ownership thereof."
"Mr. Lubert possesses the sole power to vote or to direct the
vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of the 83,333
shares of Common Stock of PRWW owned by him."
" Except for the foregoing transaction, no other transactions
have been effectuated by Mr. Lubert in the Common Stock of
PRWW during the preceding 60 day period."
