          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 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, 24,355,572 shares of the
          Stock were outstanding as of January 31, 1996.  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 419,900 shares of the Stock, which is 1.7%
          of the outstanding Stock.

          Because RCBA L.P. also has investment and voting discretion over
          450,600 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 affirm membership in
          a group.  Therefore, each Reporting Person is deemed to have
          beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 870,500 shares of the
          Stock, which is 3.6% 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 in the open market during
          the last 60 days:

          (d)  Not applicable.

          (e)  On February 28, 1996, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the
          beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Stock.

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