        This Amendment to Schedule 13D ("Amendment") is being filed as:

        (1)  Amendment No. 2 to the statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Kris and Geraldine Shah Family Trust on March 9, 2001, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D that was filed on September 27, 2001; and

        (2)  Amendment No. 1 to the statement on Schedule 13D filed by Kris Shah on September 27, 2001.

Item 2.    Identity and Background.

        Item 2 is amended to reflect that this Amendment is filed jointly on behalf of Kris Shah and the Kris and Geraldine Shah Family Trust ("Shah Trust"). Kris Shah and the Shah Trust each are referred to in this Amendment as a "Reporting Person" and together are referred to in this Amendment as the "Reporting Persons."

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

        Item 3 is amended to reflect the information contained in Item 4 below regarding the source and amount of funds involved in the acquisitions described in this Amendment.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

        Item 4 is supplemented to reflect the occurrence of the following:

        (1)  As discussed in the earlier Schedule 13D/G filings of the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons were parties to a voting agreement that was executed on July 3, 2001 in contemplation of the merger transaction between the Issuer, BIZ Interactive Zone, Inc. and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer formed for the purpose of the merger transaction. However, the voting agreement was terminated by agreement of the parties thereto on the effective date of the merger transaction, which was August 24, 2001.

        (2)  On December 18, 2001, the Issuer issued and sold to Kris Shah an 8% convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $375,000. The note initially was convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock at $3.60 per share and was due and payable on December 18, 2004. On April 16, 2002, the Issuer issued to Mr. Shah a 10% non-convertible unsecured promissory note due December 31, 2005 in the principal amount of $152,776 in connection with loans that Mr. Shah made to the Issuer. On June 29, 2002, the Shah Trust acquired 419,119 shares of the Issuer's common stock at the above market price of $1.30 per share in exchange for the cancellation of the $375,000 principal balance of the 8% note held by Mr. Shah, the cancellation of the $152,776 principal balance of the 10% note held by Mr. Shah, and the cancellation of interest due on each of those two notes through June 12, 2002.

        (3)  On August 1, 2002, the Issuer granted to Mr. Shah a ten-year option to purchase up to 26,250 shares of the Issuer's common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 per share. The option vested and became exercisable as to 20% of the underlying shares of common stock upon issuance of the option. The option is scheduled to vest and become exercisable as to the remaining 80% of the underlying shares of common stock at the rate of 1/48 per month, commencing September 1, 2002.
