Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Original 13D Filing is hereby amended by adding the
following:

(a)             The  Original 13D Filing (as amended on  February
          19,  1997),  indicated that RHI Holdings owned  500,000
          shares of Issuer Common Stock, and Warrants to purchase
          500,000 shares of Issuer Common Stock.

                           PAGE 5 OF 9

                 On   April   17,  1998,  pursuant  to  mandatory
          conversion  terms  of the Warrants, the  Warrants  were
          converted  by the Issuer into 250,519 shares of  Issuer
          Common  Stock.  As  a  result of such  conversion,  RHI
          Holdings held an aggregate of 750,510 shares of  Issuer
          Common Stock.

                On February 3, 1999, RHI Holdings assigned all of
          its interest in the Issuer Common Stock to Banner, at a
          consideration of $9 per share.

                As  a result of the transactions described above,
          RHI  Holdings  holds  no shares in the  Issuer;  Banner
          holds  750,510  shares  of  Issuer  Common  Stock;  and
          Fairchild  has  beneficial  ownership  of  the  750,510
          shares of Issuer Common Stock owned by Banner.

          Issuer's report on Form 10Q filed on November 11, 1998,
          states that there are 7,525,352 shares of Issuer Common
          Stock  outstanding.  Based on such number, the  750,510
          shares owned by Banner (also deemed beneficially  owned
          by  Fairchild) constitute approximately  9.97%  of  the
          issued and outstanding shares of Issuer's Common Stock.

(b)             The information required by this paragraph is set
          forth  in tabular form in Numbered Paragraphs 7 through
          11 on Pages 2 and 3 of this Schedule.

          Disclaimer of Beneficial Ownership By Jeffrey  Steiner.
          Jeffrey  Steiner may be deemed the beneficial owner  of
          28.96%  of  Fairchild's Class A Common Stock (including
          shares  owned  by  his affiliates).   He  is  also  the
          Chairman of the Board and CEO of Fairchild and  Banner.
          As  a  result  of  such stock ownership  and  executive
          positions,  Mr.  Steiner  may  be  deemed  to  be   the
          beneficial  owner of the Shares beneficially  owned  by
