Item 9. Sales of Equity Securities Pursuant to Regulation S.

     On February  28,  1997,  the Company  sold an aggregate of $540,000 in face
amount  of 6%  Convertible  Debentures  (the  "Debentures")  to  two  accredited
investors  that are  corporations  organized  under the laws of Jersey,  Channel
Islands,  for an aggregate  purchase price of $540,000.  The  Debentures  accrue
interest  at a rate of 6% per annum and mature on March 1, 1999.  Principal  and
interest on the Debentures are payable, at the option of the Company, in cash or
in shares of Common  Stock of the Company  ("Common  Stock"),  valued at (i) the
Market Price thereof,  as defined below,  in the case of interest,  and (ii) the
conversion price on the date of payment of principal, as described below, in the
case of  principal.  The  Debentures  are  convertible  into Common Stock of the
Company  commencing  at any  time on or after  60 days  after  the date of their
issuance. The conversion price is equal to the lesser of $15/16 per share (which
was the  closing  price  of the  Common  Stock on the  date of  issuance  of the
Debentures)  or the  Market  Price  on the  date of  conversion  or  payment  of
principal  multiplied by a percentage  which is determined  based on the date of
conversion or payment of principal and decreases on a sliding scale ranging from
75% if such  date  occurs  more  than 60 and not  more  than 90 days  after  the
original issue date of the  Debentures) to 65% if such date occurs more than 180
days after such  original  issue  date.  The Market  Price is the average of the
closing  prices  of the  Common  Stock on the five  business  days  prior to the
conversion date or the date of payment of principal or interest.

                                       2.
