This amendment to Schedule 13D (the "Amendment") is filed as Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, dated September 26, 2003 (the "Schedule 13D"), filed by Barry S. Halperin.  This Amendment reflects material changes to the Schedule 13D.  Such material changes are more fully reflected in Item 5 below.  Unless set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

This Amendment to Schedule 13D reflects a change in the number of shares and the percentage interest represented thereby of the Company's Common Stock held by the reporting person as a result of the transactions described in 5(c) below.

            (c) Since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D made by Mr. Halperin on September 16, 2003 for a June 2, 2003 event, Mr. Halperin has effected the following transactions involving the Company's Common Stock:

                        On April 20, 2004, Mr. Halperin granted H. Irwin Levy an irrevocable proxy (the "Proxy") with respect to 53,149,392 shares of the Company's Common Stock (32.2%).  The Proxy, which expires on July 31, 2004, gives Mr. Levy the right to vote the shares of the Company's Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Halperin for the following proposal:

                         1.         Approval of the issuance of shares of the Company's capital stock in the event that the Company completes certain specific transactions, on such terms and conditions as may be approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
