            The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") to the
Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned.  This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule
13D as specifically set forth.

   Items 2(a) - (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

            (a) This  statement is filed by Steel  Partners II, L.P., a Delaware
limited  partnership  ("Steel Partners II"), Steel Partners,  L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company ("Partners LLC") and Warren G.  Lichtenstein.  Each of
the  foregoing is referred to as a "Reporting  Person" and  collectively  as the
"Reporting Persons."

            Partners LLC is the general  partner of Steel  Partners II. The sole
executive officer and managing member of Partners LLC is Warren G. Lichtenstein,
who is Chairman of the Board,  Chief Executive Officer and Secretary.  By virtue
of his positions with Partners LLC and Steel Partners II, Mr.  Lichtenstein  has
the power to vote and dispose of the Issuer's Shares owned by Steel Partners II.
Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D.

            (b) The principal  business  address of each Reporting Person is 590
Madison Avenue, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10022.

            (c) The principal  business of Steel Partners II is investing in the

Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
            -------------------------------------------------

            The aggregate  purchase  price of the 661,700 Shares of Common Stock
owned by Steel Partners II is $4,121,411,  including brokerage commissions.  The
Shares of Common Stock owned by Steel Partners II were acquired with partnership
funds.

   Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

            The  Reporting  Persons  purchased the Shares based on the Reporting
Persons'  belief that the Shares at current  market prices are  undervalued  and
represent an attractive  investment  opportunity.  Depending upon overall market
conditions,  other investment  opportunities available to the Reporting Persons,
and the  availability  of Shares at  prices  that  would  make the  purchase  of
additional  Shares  desirable,  the  Reporting  Persons may endeavor to increase
their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of Shares
on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at
such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

            No  Reporting  Person has any present  plan or proposal  which would
relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in  subparagraphs  (a) - (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon
completion of any of the actions  discussed above.  Steel Partners II intends to
review  its  investment  in the  Issuer  on a  continuing  basis  and  engage in
discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer  concerning
the business,  operations  and future plans of the Issuer.  Depending on various
factors  including,  without  limitation,  the Issuer's  financial  position and
investment  strategy,  the  price  levels  of  the  Shares,  conditions  in  the
securities markets and general economic and industry conditions,  Steel Partners
II may in the future take such  actions with  respect to its  investment  in the
Issuer as it deems  appropriate  including,  without  limitation,  seeking Board
representation, making proposals to the Issuer concerning the capitalization and
operations of the Issuer,  purchasing additional Shares,  selling some or all of
its Shares,  engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar  transaction
with respect to the Shares or changing its intention with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4.

   Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

            (a) The  aggregate  percentage  of Shares of Common  Stock  reported
owned by each person named herein is based upon  7,496,530  Shares  outstanding,
which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of August 5, 2004 as reported
in the  Issuer's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the  quarter  ended July 3,
2004.

            As of the close of business on September 3, 2004,  Steel Partners II
beneficially owned 661,700 Shares, constituting approximately 8.8% of the Shares
outstanding.  As the general  partner of Steel Partners II,  Partners LLC may be
deemed to  beneficially  own the  661,700  Shares  owned by Steel  Partners  II,
constituting approximately 8.8% of the Shares outstanding. As the sole executive
officer  and  managing  member of  Partners  LLC,  which in turn is the  general
partner of Steel Partners II, Mr. Lichtenstein may be deemed to beneficially own
the 661,700 Shares owned by Steel Partners II,  constituting  approximately 8.8%
of the Shares  outstanding.  Mr.  Lichtenstein  has sole voting and  dispositive
power with respect to the 661,700 Shares owned by Steel Partners II by virtue of
his authority to vote and dispose of such Shares.

   Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:

            (c)  Schedule  A  annexed  hereto  lists  all  transactions  by  the
Reporting  Persons in the Issuer's  Common Stock during the past sixty days. All
