INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows: (a) Revision owns of record 1,297,796 Common Shares, representing approximately 11.03% of the outstanding Common Shares. Gold & Appel owns 100% of the non-voting membership interests in Revision, and Mr. Anderson owns 100% of the voting membership interests in Revision. Neither Gold & Appel nor Mr. Anderson is the record owner of any Common Shares. (b) As the manager and holder of 100% of the voting membership interests in Revision, Mr. Anderson has the power to vote or direct the voting of, and the power, in the name and on behalf of Revision, to dispose of, the 1,297,796 Common Shares held by Revision. Accordingly, Mr. Anderson may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Common Shares owned by Revision, and thereby to be the beneficial owner of the 11.03% of the outstanding Common Shares held by Revision. Mr. Anderson is also the President and a director of Foundation for the International Non-Governmental Development of Space ("FINDS"), which beneficially owns 725,329 Common Shares. Mr. Anderson does not control FINDS, and thus disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares owned by FINDS. The number of shares beneficially owned by each of the reporting persons and the percentage of outstanding shares represented thereby, have been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The ownership of the reporting persons is based on 11,769,405 outstanding Common Shares of the Issuer as of April 25, 2001, which information was provided in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 30, 2001. (c) Not applicable. Page 5 of 7 (d) No person is known by Mr. Anderson, Gold & Appel or Revision to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Common Shares beneficially owned by such reporting persons. (e) Not applicable. ITEM 7. MATERIALS TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS. Exhibit 7.1 Joint Filing Agreement with respect to the filing of this Amendment No. 24 to Schedule 13D.
