During the last five years, none of LFC, JML and RAL has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), and during such period none of them has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, the result of which was to subject such person 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. 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. This Amended Schedule 13D is being filed to report (i) 850,271 shares of Common Stock held by LFC on September 30, 1999 and (ii) 10,000 shares of Common Stock held by JML on September 30, 1999. Pursuant to a Consulting Agreement dated February 19, 1998 and effective as of March 16, 1998 between the Corporation and LFC (the "Consulting Agreement"), the Corporation on or about March 16, 1998 issued (i) 750,000 shares of Common Stock to LFC and (ii) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock to LFC (the "LFC Warrant"). The LFC Warrant was exercisable from March 16, 1998 through March 16, 2002 at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. Under the Consulting Agreement, LFC undertakes to perform certain investor 5 6 communications, financial and investor public relations, corporate finance and related services for the Corporation. A copy of the Consulting Agreement is Exhibit "A" to this Schedule 13D. Between March 23 and March 26, 1998, LFC purchased 39,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market for aggregate consideration of $182,846.11. The source of funds for such purchase was LFC's working capital. On April 21, 1998, JML purchased 10,000 shares of Common Stock in the open market for aggregate consideration of $35,804.09. The source of funds for such purchase was JML's personal funds. On December 15, 1998, LFC engaged in a "cashless" exercises of the LFC Warrant. In lieu of paying the $750,000 aggregate cash exercise price for the 750,000 shares that could be purchased pursuant to the LFC Warrant, LFC directed the Corporation to retain 307,629 of the shares, having a market value of $750,000, as consideration for the exercise of the LFC Warrant and to issue to LFC the balance of 442,371 shares of Common Stock. From April through the end of September 1999, LFC has sold an aggregate of 381,100 shares of Common Stock in the open market. 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. The 750,000 shares of Common Stock and the LFC Warrant were issued to LFC pursuant to the Consulting Agreement as partial consideration for consulting services to be performed by LFC for the Corporation. LFC and JML have acquired and held and intend for such period as they retain such shares to hold the shares of Common Stock they respectively acquired for investment purposes. LFC, JML and RAL may also acquire additional shares of Common Stock for investment purposes from time to time, although they do not have any present plans to do so. LFC, JML and RAL have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation; the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; any change in the Corporation's present Board of Directors or management; any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Corporation; any material change in the Corporation's business or corporate structure; any changes in the Corporation's charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Corporation by any person; a class of securities of the Corporation being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national 6 7 securities association; a class of equity securities of the Corporation becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or any similar action. 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. LFC has the sole power to direct the vote or disposition of the 850,271 shares of Common Stock owned by LFC. LFC would exercise its power to direct the vote or disposition of such shares through its officers and directors, JML and RAL. JML has the sole power to direct the vote or disposition of the 10,000 shares of Common Stock owned by JML. LFC disclaims any beneficial interest in any shares of Common Stock owned by JML. The 850,271 shares of Common Stock that LFC owns, and as to which LFC has the sole power to direct the vote or disposition, represent approximately 9.7% of that class of securities. The 10,000 shares of Common Stock that JML owns, and as to which JML has the sole power to direct the vote or disposition, represent approximately 0.1% of that class of securities. In each case, the calculation of the percentage of Common Stock is based on the 8,765,220 shares of Common Stock which the Corporation reported were outstanding on June 10, 1999. During the most recent previous amendment to this Schedule 13D, JML and RAL have not engaged directly in any transactions in Common Stock, and LFC has engaged in the following transactions: A.

The Corporation entered into the Consulting Agreement with LFC in consideration for consulting services to be performed by LFC pursuant to the Consulting Agreement from March 15, 1998 through March 15, 1999. In the Consulting Agreement and in the LFC Warrant, the Corporation granted to LFC certain rights to have shares of Common Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
