ITEM 9.  SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES PURSUANT TO REGULATION S

On March 20,  1997 the  Registrant  accepted a  subscription  from and agreed to
issue  to  CYGNI  S.A.  ("Subscriber"),   a  foreign  corporation  domiciled  in
Switzerland  two  3  7/8%  $75,000  convertible  Debentures  (the  "Debentures")
pursuant to exemption from registration  afforded by Regulation S as promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange  Commission  under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.  The  consideration  ("Consideration")  given by the Subscriber for the
issuance to it of the Debenture was $150,000,  $75,000 of which has been paid to
the Registrant  with the remaining  $75,000  payable within 45 days  thereafter.
Conversion  Price on the  Debentures  is the lower of .75 times market prices on
the date of the  Debenture or .70 times the average of market prices on the five
trading days  preceding  conversion  (see  Subscription  Agreement and Debenture
included  herewith as exhibits).  The Debentures are expected to be forwarded to
the Subscriber off shore upon delivery of the Consideration, with conversion, if
any,  not to take place  until the  requisite  holding  periods  provided  under
Regulation S are met,  and the issuance of the  Debentures  and  conversion  are
conditioned and provided upon the representations  made by the Subscriber in the
Subscription  Agreement  to this and other  effects.  There  was no  underwriter
involved in the described transaction.
