LoConti (the "Reporting Person") hereby makes the following statement pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. This Statement is an amendment to the Schedule 13D dated October 18, 1996 filed jointly by the Reporting Person and Alliance Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Alliance") (the "Original Schedule 13D"), as amended on the following four dates: January 31, 1997, April 3, 1997, April 21, 1997, and September 22, 1997. ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER (a) As of December 1, 1997, Mr. LoConti beneficially owned an aggregate of 6,188,700 shares of Common Stock, which includes warrants and options (currently exercisable or which will become exercisable within the next 60 days) to purchase 690,800 shares of Common Stock and 2,892,400 owned of record by Sophia Management Ltd., a limited liability company of which Mr. LoConti is a managing member ("Sophia"). The foregoing securities represent approximately 14.9% of the 41,669,734 shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding as of December 1, 1997. The Voting Trust with Westbury (Bermuda) Ltd., which had previously been reported, is no longer in effect. (b) As of December 1, 1997, Mr. LoConti has sole voting and investment power with respect to 6,188,700 shares of Common Stock, including 690,800 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options (currently exercisable or which will become exercisable within the next 60 days). (c) Within the last 60 days, the Reporting Person and persons named in paragraph (a) have effected the following transaction not previously reported: (i) On October 31, 1997, after receiving permission from the Board of Directors of IASI, Sophia exchanged 20,000 shares of IASI Common Stock in extinguishment of approximately $165,000 of funded indebtedness plus other liabilities of Sophia. The acquiror of the IASI Common Stock agreed to abide by the same contractual limitations on the sale of the IASI Common Stock that applied to Sophia. As a consequence, 17,000 IASI shares may not be resold by the acquiror until the end of the lock-up period, October 18, 1998.
