Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. Commonwealth acquired the Agent's Warrants on November 5, 1997 in connection with a private placement (the "Private Placement") of Units (the "Units") of the Company, pursuant to which Commonwealth acted as placement agent, each Unit consisting of 40,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 20,000 warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase the Company's Common Stock.

Wynne, an executive officer of the General Partner. Commonwealth disclaims beneficial ownership of the Agent's Warrants held by Messrs.

Not Applicable The Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto, but have no present intention of doing so. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. (a) Commonwealth is the beneficial owner of a total of 686,284 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 27.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (which excludes the Agent's Warrants held by Messrs. Beuret and Wynne). The General Partner is the beneficial owner of Commonwealth's 686,284 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Falk is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 851,051 shares of Common Stock, consisting of (i) 40,000 shares of Common Stock which he has the right to acquire at any time upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by him; (ii) 180,767 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Agent's Warrants owned directly by him; (iii) the 610,284 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Commonwealth; and (iv) 20,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants issued to him in connection with his purchase of Units in the Private Placement, representing approximately 34.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. In his capacity as Chairman of the General Partner and controlling equity owner, Mr. Falk shares voting and dispositive power with respect to the securities beneficially owned by the General Partner and Commonwealth and may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such securities. The percentages of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company set out in the preceding paragraph is computed based on 2,036,155 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 1998, which does not include the 2,740,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, which are convertible into 2,740,000 shares of Common Stock. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock vote together with holders of Common Stock on the basis of one vote for each share of Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible (currently, a one-for-one basis). If the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock are included in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, ------------------ Page 7 of 9 Pages ------------------ Commonwealth, the General Partner and Mr. Falk would beneficially own approximately 13.2%, 13.2% and 17.1%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: Commonwealth, the General Partner and Mr. Falk share the power to vote or direct the vote of the 252,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Commonwealth.
