                                       3

 
          This statement amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D 
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Mr. Alan Tremain and Mr. 
Jean-Claude Mathot on April 24, 1997, in connection with their ownership of 
shares of Common Stock, $.05 par value, of Buffton Corporation, a Delaware 
Corporation.

ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

Item 2(a) is supplemented as follows:

     (a)  The reporting person for this Amendment is Jean-Claude Mathot.

                                       4

 
ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

Item 3. is amended to add the following:

          On April 29, 1997, Mr. Mathot purchased in the market an additional 
14,500 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at $2.625 per share, for the purchase
of which he used his personal funds.

                                       5

 
ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4.(a) is amended by adding the following:

        Mr. Mathot is required to acquire only 70,500 shares pusuant to the

                                       6

 

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5(a) is amended and supplemented as follows:

     Mr. Mathot had originally filed jointly on a Schedule 13D on April 24, 1997
with Mr. Alan Tremain as they had each acquired their initial shares of the 
Issuer's Common Stock (except for Mr. Mathot who already had 15,000 shares) 
through the transaction described in the original joint filing on Schedule 13D. 
Mr. Mathot disclaims being a memeber of a group and is herewith reporting 
separately as to his interest in the securities of the Issuer.  Upon inquiry by 
Mr. Mathot, Mr. Tremain's position has not changed as to his beneficial 
ownership in the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, and he agrees with Mr. 
Mathot's conclusion that they are not members of a group.  Mr. Mathot, with the 
addition of the 14,500 shares which he purchased in the market on April 29, 
1997, now owns, or has the right to own, in the aggregate 399,500 shares of 
Common Stock, or approximatley 5.02% of the issued and outstanding shares of the
Common Stock of the Issuer as of April 11, 1997, if the 250,000 shares of Common
Stock which would have been issued on exercise of his Stock Options are 
included in the calculation of the outstanding shares.

Item 5(b) is amended by adding the following:

     As of April 29, 1997, Mr. Mathot has the sole power to vote or direct the
vote of 149,500 shares of the Issuers' Common Stock, or 399,500 shares on a
fully diluted basis upon the exercise of his Stock Option, and the sole power to
dispose or direct the disposition of 399,500 shares of the Issuers' Common Stock
on a fully diluted basis, subject to the Stock Option Agreement filed as Exhibit
2B to the orginal filing on Schedule 13D and hereby incorporated herein by
reference and as further limited by the Employment Agreement attached as Exhibit
3B to the original filing on Schedule 13D and as further described therein and
hereby incorporated herein by reference.

certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.
