             To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the
             entities or persons identified in this Item 2 has, during the
             past five years, been convicted of any criminal proceeding
             (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), nor
             been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
             administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result
             of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or
             final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or
             mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
             laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

             Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

             The source of funds for previous purchases of Stock was the
             working capital of BK III, BK IV, the Carpenters Trust and
             another advisory client of RCBA Inc., as described in more
             detail in Item 5 below.

             Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

             The Reporting Persons acquired the Stock for investment
             purposes.  Depending on market conditions and other factors,
             the Reporting Persons may purchase additional shares of the
             Stock in the open market or in private transactions. 
             Alternatively, depending on market conditions and other
             factors, they may, at some future time, sell all or some of
             their shares of the Stock.

             Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons
             have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would
             result in any of the actions set forth in clauses (a) through
             (j) of Item 4, although the Reporting Persons may in the
             future take actions that would have such an effect.

             Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

             (a) & (b)  According to the Issuer's most recent Form 10-Q,
             24,343,663 shares of the Stock were outstanding as of
             December 9, 1994.  When the trades reported in Item 5(c)
             below are settled, the only Reporting Person having direct
             holdings in the Stock will be the Carpenters Trust, which
             will hold 655,700 shares of the Stock, which is 2.7% of the
             outstanding Stock.

                                          -11-

             Because RCBA L.P. also has investment and voting discretion
             over 702,600 shares purchased on behalf of another advisory
             client, those shares are reported as beneficially owned by
             RCBA L.P.  Such advisory client disclaims membership in a
             group with any of the Reporting Persons, and disclaims
             beneficial ownership of any shares held by the Reporting
             Persons.

             Because voting and investment decisions concerning the above
             shares are made by RCBA Inc., in its capacity as the sole
             general partner of RCBA L.P., the Reporting Persons (other
             than BK III and BK IV, which have disposed of all of their
             shares) affirm membership in a group.  Therefore, each
             Reporting Person (other than BK III and BK IV) is deemed to
             have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,358,300 shares
             of the Stock, which is 5.6% of the outstanding Stock.

             As Chairman, director and a substantial shareholder of RCBA
             Inc., Richard Blum might be deemed to be the beneficial owner
             of the securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.  Mr. Blum
             reserves the right to disclaim beneficial ownership of
             securities beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.  Although Mr. Blum
             is joining in this Amendment as a Reporting Person, the
             filing of this Amendment shall not be construed as an
             admission that he, or any of the other shareholders,
             directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. is, for any
             purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the securities that
             are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc.

             (c)  The following sales have been made during the last 60
             days (all by BK IV in the open market):

                          Trade      Number of     Price Per
                          Date         Shares        Share

                          12/06/94    120,000       $1.875

                          12/09/94    255,800        1.875

                          12/12/94    146,200        1.875
                          12/13/94     5,000         1.875

                          12/16/94     22,400        1.875
                          Total       549,400

             In addition, since Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D was filed
             (but not within the last 60 days), BK III disposed of the
             entire 118,900 shares of Stock it previously owned.

             (d) and (e)   Not applicable.

             Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
                       Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
                       Issuer
