     This Amendment No. 2 to the Statement on Schedule 13D  heretofore  filed on
August 15, 1994,  as amended by Amendment  No. 1 filed on February 24, 1995,  is
filed by Peter  Cundill &  Associates  (Bermuda)  Ltd.,  a  Bermuda  corporation
("PCB"),   Peter  Cundill  Holdings   (Bermuda)  Ltd.,  a  Bermuda   corporation
("Holdings"),  Cundill Value Fund, an unincorporated  mutual fund trust governed
by the laws of British Columbia ("Value Fund") and F. Peter Cundill,  a Canadian
citizen residing in England ("Cundill") (PCB,  Holdings,  Value Fund and Cundill
are sometimes also referred to herein  individually as a "Reporting  Person" and
collectively  as "Reporting  Persons"),  to reflect the following  amendments to
Items 3 and 5:

ITEM 3 IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED TO READ AS FOLLOWS IN ITS ENTIRETY:

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     The Shares  herein  reported as being  beneficially  owned by the Reporting
Persons were acquired as follows:

                  (1) Acting on behalf of Cundill Value Fund, an  unincorporated
         mutual  fund trust  governed  by the laws of British  Columbia  ("Value
         Fund"),  PCB  purchased  a total  of  676,100  Shares  in  open  market
         transactions  for an  aggregate  consideration  (exclusive  of brokers'
         commissions) of  $2,865,743.50.  To the best knowledge of the Reporting
         Persons,  the  funds  used in such  purchases  were from  Value  Fund's
         existing available investment capital and none of the consideration for
         such Shares was represented by borrowed funds.

                  Individually  PCB does not  beneficially own 5% or more of the
         Shares.  Due to the investment  management  services provided by PCB to
         Value  Fund,  PCB  could be  deemed a  beneficial  owner of all  Shares
         purchased in the transactions described in subitem (1) above.

                  All dollar amounts are in United States dollars.

THE FIRST  PARAGRAPH OF ITEM 5 IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED TO READ AS FOLLOWS
IN ITS ENTIRETY:

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     The number of Shares  which may be deemed to be  beneficially  owned by the
Reporting Persons are as follows:

Shares Deemed to be           Nature of Ownership             Percentage

         =======                                              =====


(C) Cundill:

                              Shared Voting and Shared
         676,100              Dispositive Power (3)           6.82%
         -------                                              -----

         676,100                                              6.82%
         =======                                              =====



(1)      Such Shares are owned by Value Fund, the investment  portfolio of which
         entity is managed  by PCB.  PCB has sole  dispositive  power and shared
         voting power under an agreement  dated as of June 1, 1995. The economic
         interest in such Shares is held by Value Fund.

(2)      Holdings,  because it owns a  controlling  portion  of the  outstanding
         stock of PCB, could be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or
         direct the disposition of such Shares.

(3)      Cundill, because he owns a controlling portion of the outstanding stock
         of Holdings,  which owns a controlling  portion of the  outstanding  of
         stock of PCB, could be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose or
         direct the disposition of such Shares.

THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH IS HEREBY ADDED TO ITEM 5 IN ORDER TO UPDATE INFORMATION
CONCERNING TRANSACTIONS IN THE SHARES:

         TRANSACTIONS

     No transactions  in the Shares have been effected by the Reporting  Persons
or to the best  knowledge of the Reporting  Persons,  by any executive  officer,
