ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs: "In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 1998 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), Riverside stated that it believed that it will need significantly in excess of $1,000,000 of additional funds in order to support its operations through September 1998 and to make the required September 30,1998 interest payment due on its 13% Subordinated Notes. Riverside also stated that it presently anticipates that it will obtain these funds through market and private sales of Common Stock, although it may satisfy some or all of its short-term cash needs through other sources. "On August 24, 1998, Riverside filed a Form 144 with the Commission with respect to the proposed sale by it of 80,000 shares of Common Stock in the market pursuant to Rule 144. Since that date through August 25, 1998, Riverside has sold 53,300 shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144. See "Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer." Riverside is seeking to sell additional shares in privately negotiated transactions. "Pursuant to a registration rights agreement between Riverside and Wickes, Riverside has requested Wickes to effect the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of approximately 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be sold from time to time through dealers or agents or otherwise in the market or otherwise. Riverside presently reasonably expects to sell these shares within the next two years." ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs: "Schedule I hereto sets forth certain information with respect to sales by Riverside of Common Stock through brokers in the market in Rule 144 transactions. "On the date hereof, Riverside and its subsidiaries directly own 4,099,113 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 50.0 percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Of these 4,099,113 shares, 3,703,968 and 395,145 are directly owned by Riverside and AFAC, respectively." 4 5 SIGNATURE After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
