The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 106 Corporate

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

         The person filing this statement is Reynald G. Bonmati, whose
residence address is Premium Point, New Rochelle, New York 10801.  The
undersigned is Chairman of the Board, President, Treasurer and a Director
of the Issuer.  The undersigned is also a Managing Director of Norland

         The undersigned is a citizen of the United States.

Norland Corporation, which acquisition is subject to the approval of the

acted upon at the Annual Meeting include the election of directors and an
amendment to the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the
amount of authorized Common Stock.
