             shares as a personal investment.  7,205,720 of the Shares
             deemed to be beneficially owned by Capital and Cabral Corp.,
             including the shares owned by Partners and Athena, were
             purchased in open market transactions and 250,000 of such
             Shares were purchased in 1995 on behalf of Athena in a
             private placement transaction. The average price per share of
             all such Shares is $2.15 for aggregate cost of $16,024,951. 
             The shares owned directly by Cabral were purchased in open
             market transactions at an average price per share of $1.64
             for an aggregate cost of $22,967.50.  The funds for the
             purchase of shares held by Partners and Athena were working
             capital obtained from the contributions of their various 
             equity owners and from the proceeds those entities'
             operations.  The funds for the acquisition of the shares held
             by the managed accounts and by Cabral came from their own
             funds.  

             Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

             The Reporting Persons acquired and hold the Common Stock for
             investment purposes in the ordinary course of the Reporting
             Persons' business or investment activities, as applicable. 
             Depending upon market conditions and other factors, the
             Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the
             Issuer, in the open market, in privately negotiated
             transactions or otherwise.  Alternatively, depending upon
             market conditions and other factors, the Reporting Persons
             may, from time to time, dispose of some or all of the
             securities of the Issuer that they beneficially own.

             Capital has communicated with the Issuer concerning a range
             of issues it believes could favorably affect both management
             focus and shareholder value, and may continue such
             communications.  Capital is evaluating  various alternatives
             to accomplish those goals, including some that could involve
             changes in management or membership on the Board of
             Directors, and could take actions that would have such
             consequences.

             Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

             (a), (b)  According to the Issuer's most-recent Form 10-Q,

             outstanding as most recent Form 10-Q, of April 30, 1996.

             has purchased any shares of the Issuer's Common Stock on the
             open market.
