Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     The information in Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following thereto:

     Blesbok may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 137,804 shares of Common Stock which it has the right to acquire upon conversion of Series F Preferred Stock, representing approximately 2.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 6,554,966 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 12, 2003, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 13, 2003.

     As the managing members of Blesbok, Michael R. Milken and Lowell J. Milken may be deemed to share the powers of voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Blesbok (and other entities as described in the Schedule 13D). As such, Michael R. Milken and Lowell J. Milken may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 2,021,304 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 30.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 6,554,966 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 12, 2003, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 13, 2003.

     Mollusk may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 2,001,981 shares of Common Stock, including 118,481 shares of Common Stock which it has the right to acquire upon conversion of Series F Preferred Stock, representing approximately 30.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 6,554,966 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 12, 2003, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 13, 2003.

     Cephalopod and Lawrence are members of Mollusk, and Ellison controls and beneficially owns Cephalopod and Lawrence, and as a result they each may be deemed to share the powers of voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Mollusk (and other entities as described in the Schedule 13D). As such, Cephalopod, Lawrence and Ellison may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 2,001,981 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 30.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 6,554,966 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 12, 2003, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on May 13, 2003.
