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

         (a)      Directly Held Shares of Class B Common Stock

                  (iii)    From Galan Option

                  Mr. Prats acquired 180,000 of his shares of Class B Common
                  Stock from Victor Galan for a purchase price of $4.03 per
                  share on November 9, 2001, upon exercise of an option granted
                  to Mr. Prats by Mr. Galan with respect to such shares.

                  (iv)     From Company Stock Options

                  Mr. Prats acquired 360,000 of his shares of Class B Common
                  Stock on November 15, 2001, by exercising all options granted
                  to him under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan, at a
                  purchase price of $4.03 a share. On August 22, 2001, Mr.
                  Prats became vested in options to acquire 72,000, which were
                  the remaining unvested options granted to him pursuant to the
                  1996 Stock Option Plan.

         (b)      Options for Share of Class B Common Stock

                  (i)      From the Company

                  Effective November 15, 2001, Mr. Prats no longer holds any
                  options for shares of Class B Common Stock under the 1996
                  Company Stock Option Plan.

                  (ii)     From Victor J. Galan

                  Effective November 9, 2001, Mr. Prats holds an unvested
                  option to acquire an aggregate of 180,000 shares of Class B
                  Common Stock, at a purchase price of $4.03 a share, from
                  Victor J. Galan, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and
                  Chief Executive Officer of the Company by virtue of a Stock
                  Option Agreement dated May 8, 1998, which is attached as an
                  exhibit to Mr. Prats original 13D filed on June 1, 2001.
                  Options vest under the agreement one-sixth a year.





Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                  (a)      Mr. Prats beneficially owns 622,454 shares of Class
         B Common Stock which represent approximately 4.1% of the 14,873,700
         outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company. The
         decrease in Mr. Prats percentage of beneficial ownership since the
         percentage reported on the Schedule 13D filed on June 1, 2001 is due
         to the Company's issuance of an aggregate of 4,415,000 additional
         shares of Class B Common Stock on June 27, 2001 and July 5, 2001.
         Because Mr. Prats' ownership is now below the threshold required for
         filing, Mr. Prats will not file further amendments to his Schedule 13D
         until such time, if at all, that his percentage of beneficial
         ownership triggers a Schedule 13D filing obligation.

                  (b)      Mr. Prats has sole power to vote and dispose of all
         622,454 shares of Class B Common Stock over which he is attributed
         beneficial ownership.

                  (c)      Mr. Prats exercised in part the option to acquire
         shares of Class B Common Stock from Mr. Galan on November 9, 2001 and
         all of his Company stock options on November 15, 2001.

                  (d)      No other person is known to have the right to
         receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
         proceeds from the sale of, Mr. Prats securities reported herein.

                  (e)      Not applicable.

                                   SIGNATURE

         After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is
true, complete and correct.
