This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D filed by the reporting persons

ILEX Oncology, Inc. previously held by PRNR (the "Shares") pursuant to a sale of
the Shares on March 8, 2000. Other than as set forth below, to the best

knowledge of the Reporting Persons any of the individuals named on Schedule
A hereto, was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative

subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state
securities laws of finding any violation with respect to such laws.

stock ($.01 par value) of the Issuer that occurred on March 8, 2000.
