Item 9.   Sale of Debentures Pursuant to Regulation S.

     (a)  Securities Sold.  On October 27, 1997 the Registrant
          issued a $200,000.00 8% Convertible Debenture due
          December 31, 1998. 

     (b)  Underwriters and Other Purchasers.  The Registrant did
          not engage an underwriter in connection the issuance of
          the Debentures.  The Debentures were purchased by non-U.S. 
          Persons (as such term is defined in Regulation S
          ("Regulation S") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
          amended ("Securities Act")).  The purchasers are
          "accredited investors" as defined in Rule 501(a) in
          Regulation D under the Securities Act.

     (c)  Consideration.  The Registrant issued the Debenture for
          cash consideration.  The Registrant is obligated to pay
          Michael Heitz a consulting fee in the aggregate amount
          of $4,000.

     (d)  Exemption from Registration Claimed.  The Debentures
          were issued in accordance with the provisions of
          Regulation S in an Offshore Transaction to a non-U.S.
          Person. 

     (e)  Terms of Conversion or Exercise.   

          The terms of the Debenture provide for interest on the
          Debenture at the rate of Eight percent (8.0%) per year
          payable until the Debenture has been converted. 
          Purchaser, at its option, may convert all the principal
          amount of the Debenture, plus accrued interest,
          provided the principal amount is at least $10,000, into
          Common Stock at any time after November 8, 1997, at a
          conversion price for each share of Common Stock equal
          to eighty percent 80% of the Closing Bid Price (as that
          term is defined below) for the five trading days
          immediately preceding (i) the date of issuance of the
          Debenture or (ii) the date of conversion of the
          Debenture.  The term "Closing Bid Price" shall mean the
          closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock as
          reported by NASDAQ (or, if not reported by NASDAQ, as
          reported by such other exchange or market where
          traded).

          The discussion at this Item 701(e) is qualified in its
          entirety by reference to the Debenture attached to this
          Form 8-K as an exhibit.
