     See Item 4.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     Pursuant to an Order Appointing Receiver entered on July 10, 2003 by Judge Zloch of the United States Court for the Southern District of Florida, the Reporting Person acquired beneficial

CUSIP No. 988918108 13D Page 5 of 8 Pages

ownership for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of all of the property, including securities, of LMG II, Lancer Offshore, LSPV and Omnifund, including the securities to which this Schedule 13D relates. Pursuant to an order entered on July 25, 2003 by Judge Shiff of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut Bridgeport Division in an action styled In Re: Lancer Partners, Limited Partnership, Case No. 03-50492, the Reporting Person was designated the person in control of Lancer Partners by virtue of the Reporting Person’s status as the Receiver for LMG II, and thereby the Reporting Person has acquired beneficial ownership for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of all of the property, including securities, of Lancer Partners, including the securities to which this Schedule 13D relates.

     The purpose of the appointment of the Reporting Person as Receiver was to administer and hold the assets of the Receivership Entities. In the course of the administration of the assets of the Receivership Entities, the Reporting Person has hired an investment manager and has charged its investment manager generally with the task of proposing strategies for maximizing the net present value obtainable from the assets of the Receivership Entities over the next five years. The Reporting Person currently does not intend to dispose of a substantial portion of the Common Stock of the Issuer held by the Receivership Entities in the public markets. The Reporting Person may from time to time seek to sell or transfer a limited amount of the Common Stock of the Issuer held by the Receivership Entities in the public markets based on its evaluation of the business prospects of the Issuer and upon other factors, including but not limited to, general economic and business conditions and stock market conditions.

     Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person does not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (i) the acquisition by the Reporting Person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (vi) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (vii) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or (x) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates is 19,407,364 shares which represents 49.3% of 39,360,560, the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of September 5, 2003 according to a list of registered shareholders generated by CIBC Mellon Trust Company, the transfer agent

CUSIP No. 988918108 13D Page 6 of 8 Pages

for the Issuer (the “Transfer Agent). The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to which this Schedule 13D relates is based upon a review of custodial statements for the period of October 1, 2003 through October 31, 2003 (the “Custodial Statements”) delivered to the Reporting Person by Banc of America Securities (“BA”), which serves as prime broker to the Receivership Entities. The BA Custodial Statements indicate that BA retains custody of 15,064,375 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer registered to Lancer Offshore, 2,688,288 shares of Common Stock held for the benefit of Lancer Partners, 718,000 shares of Common Stock registered to Omnifund, and 936,701 shares of Common Stock held for the benefit of LSPV.

     A review of a list of non-objecting beneficial owners of Common Stock of the Issuer in the U.S. (“the U.S. NOBO List”) dated as of September 26, 2003 indicates that 718,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer are held for the benefit of LSPV and 936,701 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer are held for the benefit of Omnifund. No information was available from the U.S. NOBO List regarding the number of shares held for the benefit of Lancer Offshore and Lancer Partners. A review of the list of non-objecting beneficial owners of Common Stock of the Issuer in Canada (“the Canadian NOBO List”) dated as of September 24, 2003 did not provide any relevant information with respect to any of the Receivership Entities. The Reporting Person has not yet confirmed whether the shares listed for the benefit of LSPV and Omnifund in the U.S. NOBO List are the same shares for which BA is reporting custody in the BA Custodial Statements.

     The Reporting Person expressly disclaims knowledge as to the completeness and the accuracy of the information contained in this Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person is still in the process of exploring whether or not any other brokers or nominees are holding additional shares of Common Stock, with respect to which the Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner. Similarly, the Reporting Person is still in the process of determining whether any of the Receivership Entities have entered into any type of agreement, contract, trust or other arrangement pursuant to which the Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of more or fewer shares of Common Stock than indicated herein. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Person or any of the Receivership Entities is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

     (b)  The Reporting Person is the sole person with voting and dispositive power with regard to the 19,407,364 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer described in this Schedule 13D.

     (c)  There have been no transactions effected during the past 60 days by the Reporting Person with respect to this class of securities.

     (d)  Not applicable.

     (e)  Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

CUSIP No. 988918108 13D Page 7 of 8 Pages

     There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Person and any person, with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.

     To the Reporting Person’s knowledge, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Receivership Entities and any person, with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies. As set forth in Item 5 above, the Reporting Person is still in the process of determining whether any of the Receivership Entities have entered into any type of agreement, contract, trust or other arrangement pursuant to which the Reporting Person may be deemed the beneficial owner of more or fewer shares of Common Stock than indicated herein.
