          This Statement amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule

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

          Item 3 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following:

          613,660 shares of Common Stock from the Corporation pursuant to
          the exercise of options granted to Mr. Krusos on June 5, 1987,
          January 4, 1995 and May 3, 1995 under the Corporation's 1987 and
          1993 Stock Option Plans.  The funds for the purchase of such
          shares (which previously were reported as being beneficially
          owned) were from the proceeds of sales of an equivalent number of
          shares pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 under the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See Item 5."

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
          ------------------------------------

          Item 5 is hereby (i) amended by deleting paragraph (a) thereof
and replacing it with the following paragraph (a) and (ii) supplemented by
the addition of the following paragraph (c):

               "(a) As of the date of this Statement, Mr. Krusos
          beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,316,970 shares of Common
          Stock, representing 11.35% of the outstanding shares of Common
          Stock, including 914,840 shares of Common Stock subject to
          options granted under the Corporation's 1993 Stock Option Plan."

               "(c) Between April 15, 1996 and June 5, 1996, Mr. Krusos
          purchased an aggregate of 237,660 shares of Common Stock and
          disposed of an aggregate of 241,660 shares of Common Stock, as
