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

            On July 22,  2005,  the Issuer's  Chapter 11 Plan of  Reorganization
(the  "Plan")  was  confirmed  by the U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court  for the  Southern
District  of New York.  The  effective  date for the Plan was July 29, 2005 (the
"Effective Date"). Pursuant to the Plan, holders of the Issuer's 10 1/2 % senior
notes (the "Senior Notes") shall receive a pro rata share of 9,200,000 Shares of
the reorganized company,  representing 92% of the equity in the Issuer. For each
$1,000 principal amount of Senior Notes,  holders shall receive 99.11657 Shares.
As of the  Effective  Date,  Steel  Partners  II  held  an  aggregate  value  of
$47,084,000 Senior Notes of the Issuer. Accordingly,  Steel Partners II received
4,666,804  Shares in exchange  for their  Senior  Notes.  Steel  Partners II has
purchased 154,903 Shares subsequent to the Effective Date.

            The  aggregate  purchase  price  of  the  $47,084,000  Senior  Notes

Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.
            ----------------------

            The  Reporting  Persons  purchased  the Senior  Notes and the Shares
based on the Reporting  Persons'  belief that the Senior Notes and Shares,  when
purchased,   were   undervalued   and   represented  an  attractive   investment
opportunity.   Depending  upon  overall  market  conditions,   other  investment
opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares
at prices  that would make the  purchase of  additional  Shares  desirable,  the
Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their position in the Issuer through,
among  other  things,  the  purchase  of Shares on the open market or in private
transactions  or  otherwise,  on such terms and at such  times as the  Reporting
Persons may deem advisable.

            No  Reporting  Person has any present  plan or proposal  which would
relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in  subparagraphs  (a) - (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein.  Steel Partners II intends
to review  its  investment  in the  Issuer on a  continuing  basis and engage in
discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer  concerning
the business,  operations  and future plans of the Issuer.  Depending on various
factors  including,  without  limitation,  the Issuer's  financial  position and
investment  strategy,  the  price  levels  of  the  Shares,  conditions  in  the
securities markets and general economic and industry conditions,  Steel Partners
II may in the future take such  actions with  respect to its  investment  in the
Issuer as it deems appropriate including,  without limitation,  making proposals
to the Issuer concerning changes to the  capitalization,  ownership structure or
operations of the Issuer,  purchasing additional Shares,  selling some or all of
its Shares,  engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar  transaction
with respect to the Shares or changing its intention with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4.

general  partner  of Steel  Partners  II,  Mr.  Lichtenstein  may be  deemed  to
beneficially own the 4,821,707  Shares owned by Steel Partners II,  constituting

Filing  Agreement,  in which the parties agreed to the joint filing on behalf of
each of them of statements on Schedule 13D with respect to the securities of the
Issuer.

            Other   than  as   described   herein,   there  are  no   contracts,
arrangements,  understandings or relationships  among the Reporting Persons,  or
between  the  Reporting  Persons  and any  other  person,  with  respect  to the
securities of the Issuer.
