         The following  constitutes  Amendment No. 5 ("Amendment  No. 5") to the
Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned.  This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule
13D as specifically set forth.

     Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

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

         The aggregate  purchase  price of the 2,395,209  Shares of Common Stock
owned by Steel Partners II is $8,281,458,  including  brokerage  commissions and
mark-ups.  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:

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
         ----------------------

         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 9,494,259 Shares outstanding, which is
the  total  number of Shares  outstanding  as  reported  in the  Issuer's  Proxy
Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
on February 10, 2004.

         As of the  close of  business  on March 11,  2004,  Steel  Partners  II
beneficially  owned 2,395,209 Shares,  constituting  approximately  25.2% of the
Shares  outstanding.  As the general  partner of Steel Partners II, Partners LLC

-----------------------                                      -------------------


may be deemed to beneficially  own the 2,395,209  Shares owned by Steel Partners
II,  constituting  approximately  25.2% 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 2,395,209  Shares owned by Steel Partners II,  constituting
approximately 25.2% of the Shares outstanding.  Mr. Lichtenstein has sole voting
and  dispositive  power with  respect  to the  2,395,209  Shares  owned by Steel
Partners  II by virtue of his  authority  to vote and  dispose  of such  Shares.
44,180 of such Shares were  transferred  to Steel Partners II as a result of the
termination of the Services Agreement.

     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 since the filing of Amendment No. 4 to the
Schedule 13D. All of such transactions were effected in the open market.
