Item 1. Change in Control of Registrant

Cancellation of Series D Preferred Stock

         On November 12, 1998, the Registrant entered into an agreement dated as
of October 26, 1998 (the "Cancellation Agreement") by and among Pershing Sun,
the President and a director of the Registrant, Betty Sun, the wife of Pershing
Sun, Hillcrest Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company controlled
by Pershing Sun and Betty Sun ("Hillcrest"), Salvatore Crimi, the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant, and Angelo Crimi, a director and
officer of the Registrant. Pursuant to the terms of the Cancellation Agreement,
the Registrant and Betty Sun have cancelled 125,000 shares of Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Shares") previously issued to Betty Sun at an
aggregate purchase price of $126,250 (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price
was repaid to Ms. Sun through the issuance of a check to Ms. Sun in the amount
of $1,250 and the cancellation by the Registrant of a promissory note (the
"Promissory Note") in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000 made by Ms. Sun
in favor of the Registrant. In addition, the Registrant and Ms. Sun agreed to
cancel the following agreements: (i) a stock pledge agreement, dated as of July
24, 1998 relating to the pledge by Ms. Sun of the shares to secure her
obligations under the Promissory Note and (ii) a registration rights agreement,
dated July 24, 1998, relating to the shares of common stock of the Company (the
"Common Stock") issuable upon conversion of the shares. Prior to the
cancellation of the shares, Betty Sun and Pershing Sun beneficially owned
approximately 49.3% of the outstanding shares of stock of the Registrant
entitled to vote on matters submitted to stockholders. As a result of the
cancellation, Betty Sun and Pershing Sun now own approximately 8.52% of the
outstanding shares of stock of the Registrant entitled to vote on matters
submitted to stockholders.
