     This Final  Amendment  amends and  supplements  the  Schedule  13D filed on
August 21, 1997 by Anthony J.  Marchiano  with respect to the common stock,  par
value $.01 per share, of Winfield Capital Corp.


ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         No modification.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         (a)   No modification.

         (b)   Mr. Marchiano's business  address is  501 Goodlitte Road, Naples,
               Florida 34101.

         (c)   No modification.

         (d)   No modification.

         (e)   During the last five years, Mr. Marchiano has not been a party to
               a  civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  or  administrative  body of
               competent  jurisdiction as a result of which he was or is subject
               to a judgment,  decree or final order enjoining future violations
               of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
               state  securities  laws or finding any violation  with respect to
               such laws, except as described below.

               In February  1997,  the  Massachusetts  Securities  Division (the
               "Division")  commenced  an  administrative  action  titled IN THE
               MATTER OF A.S. GOLDMEN & COMPANY,  INC., ANTHONY J. MARCHIANO AND
               STUART  WINKLER.  The complaint  alleged that Goldmen and Messrs.
               Marchiano and Winkler (the  "Respondents")  sold to Massachusetts
               investors securities that were neither registered nor exempt from
               registration  in  Massachusetts  and that such  conduct  violated
               Sections 101 and 301 of the Massachusetts  Uniform Securities Act
               (the "Act"). With respect to Mr. Marchiano, the complaint alleged
               that,  as a control  person of Goldmen,  by virtue of the conduct
               alleged,  Mr. Marchiano failed to supervise the firm's brokers to
               assure compliance with the Act.

               In July 1997,  Respondents  and the Division agreed to settle the
               above-described  administrative  action.  As a  condition  of the



                                   -3-
<PAGE>

               settlement,  the Division's  findings of fact and  conclusions of
               law were neither admitted nor denied by Respondents.

               Respondents agreed to withdraw their respective  registrations as
               broker-dealer and broker-dealer  agents with the Division.  For a
               period  of  five  years  from  the  date  of  the  Final   Order,
               Respondents   further   agreed  not  to  apply  or  reapply   for
               registration  with the Division.  Respondents also agreed to, and
               have since made, a $50,000  contribution to an investor education
               fund   established  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  of
               Massachusetts.  Goldmen  also  agreed to make a written  Offer of
               Rescission  to  each  Massachusetts   client  to  whom  the  firm
               allegedly  sold  unregistered   securities  during  the  relevant
               period.

               In  May  1999,   the  National   Adjudicatory   Council  of  NASD
               Regulation,  Inc. (the "NAC") reviewed an  administrative  action
               originally brought before the District Business Conduct Committee
               for  District No. 10 of the National  Association  of  Securities
               Dealers ("NASD"). The complaint alleged, among other things, that
               Goldmen,   Messrs.   Marchiano  and  Winkler,  and  Stacy  Meyers
               (collectively,   the  "Respondents")   charged  retail  customers
               fraudulently  excessive  markups and  manipulated the market with
               respect to the sale of warrants of Innovative Tech Systems,  Inc.
               during a four-day  period in July  1994.  The  complaint  further
               alleged that Messrs.  Marchiano and Winkler and Ms. Meyers failed
               to establish, maintain and enforce an adequate supervisory system
               for Goldmen.

               The NAC  found  that  Goldmen  and Mr.  Winkler  had  engaged  in
               manipulative trading practices in violation of NASD Conduct Rules
               2110 and 2120, and Section 10(b) of the  Securities  Exchange Act
               of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Exchange Act Rule 10b-6. The NAC
               also found that  Goldmen  and Mr.  Winkler  charged  fraudulently
               excessive  markups in violation of NASD Conduct Rules 2110,  2120
               and 2440,  and that  Goldmen  and Messrs.  Winkler and  Marchiano
               failed to establish, maintain and enforce an adequate supervisory
               system in  violation  of NASD  Conduct  Rules  2110 and 3010.  In
               connection  with the NAC's  findings,  Goldmen and Marchiano were
               censured and fined  $150,000  (jointly and severally) and Goldmen
               was  ordered to pay  restitution  in the amount of  $549,903.  In
               addition,  Mr. Marchiano was ordered to requalify as a principal.
               Mr.  Winkler was fined  $36,000 and was  suspended  for two years
               while Ms.  Meyers was fined  $5,000 and ordered to requalify as a
               general securities representative.

         (f)   No modification.
