JML, RBP and RAL are LFC's only directors, and JML and RAL are its sole stockholders. JML, RBP and RAL are citizens of the United States, and their business address is LFC's principal business address listed above. During the last five years, none of LFC, JML, RBP and RAL has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), and during such period none of them has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, the result of which was to subject such person to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION. Pursuant to Consulting Agreements effective as of January 12, 1996 and January 12, 1997 by and between the Corporation and LFC (collectively the "Consulting Agreements"), the Corporation 5 Page 5 of 8 has issued to LFC an aggregate of 880,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. Under the Consulting Agreements, LFC has performed and is to perform certain investor communications, financial and investor public relations, corporate finance and related services for the Corporation. In addition, JML purchased an aggregate of 125,000 shares of Common Stock from the Corporation in private placements. This Schedule 13D is being filed to report 880,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock owned by LFC and 125,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock owned by JML. LFC had previously filed a Schedule 13G to report its initial holdings of 390,000 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. The 880,000 shares of Common Stock owned by LFC were received in consideration of services rendered. The 125,000 shares of Common Stock owned by JML were acquired from the Corporation at a cost of One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000). The source of funds used in purchasing the 125,000 shares of Common Stock was JML's personal funds. 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. LFC and JML hold the shares of Common Stock presently owned by them, respectively, for investment purposes. LFC and JML may acquire additional shares of Common Stock for investment purposes from time to time, although they do not have any present plans to do so. LFC and JML have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation; the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; any change in the Corporation's present Board of Directors or management; any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Corporation; any material change in the Corporation's business or corporate structure; any changes in the Corporation's charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Corporation by any person; a class of securities of the Corporation being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; a class of equity securities of the Corporation becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or any similar action. 6 Page 6 of 8 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. LFC has the sole power to direct the vote or disposition of the 880,000 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation owned by LFC. JML has the sole power to direct the vote or disposition of the 125,000 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation owned by JML. The 880,000 shares of Common Stock that LFC owns, and as to which LFC has or the sole power to direct the vote or disposition, represent approximately 15.9% of that class of securities. The 125,000 shares of Common Stock that JML owns, and as to which JML has or would have the sole power to direct the vote or disposition, represent approximately 2.3% of that class of securities. The 1,005,000 shares of Common Stock which LFC and JML in the aggregate presently own, and as to which either LFC or JML has the sole power to direct the vote or disposition, represent approximately 18.2% of that class of securities. In each case, the calculation of the percentage of the class of Common Stock is based on the advice received by LFC from the Corporation that, as of December 31, 1996, 4,910,465 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. During the past sixty days, LFC and JML have engaged in the following transactions in Common Stock: A. On January 22, 1997, RAL (the spouse of JML) sold 1,030 shares in the over-the-counter market at a sales price of $2.19 per share. B. On March 3, 1997, LFC received 490,000 shares as consideration pursuant to the January 12, 1997 Consulting Agreement. C. On March 3, 1997, JML received 125,000 shares through the purchase of 125,000 shares from the Corporation at a price of $1.00 per share. 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. In the Consulting Agreements and in the subscription agreements relating to the private placements in which JML purchased shares of Common Stock, the Corporation granted to LFC and JML, respectively, certain rights to have shares of Common Stock registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Except as described above, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between any of the 7 Page 7 of 8 persons named in Item 2 above and any other person with respect to any securities of the Corporation. 7.
