CUSIP No. 268920204 SCHEDULE 13D Page 5 of 8 Pages

     Marty Steinberg has not (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceedings was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with respect to such laws.

     The Receivership Entities are defendants in the action styled Securities Exchange Commission v. Michael Lauer, et al., Case No. 03-80612 IV-ZLOCH. As such, they are subject to a Temporary Restraining Order and Order Appointing Receiver both entered on July 10, 2003, prohibiting certain activities subject to federal securities laws.

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

     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 ownership for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of all of the property, including securities, of Lancer Offshore and Omnifund, 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 may from time to time seek to sell shares of the Common Stock held by the Receivership Entities based on its evaluation of the Issuer and upon other factors, including but not limited to, general economic, business 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 or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (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 inter-dealer 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.

CUSIP No. 268920204 SCHEDULE 13D Page 6 of 8 Pages

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 40,723,185 shares which represents 50.66% of 80,383,525 shares of Common Stock, the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of December 15, 2003 according to correspondence from Chuck Garza, operations manager of Florida Transfer Corporation, the transfer agent 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 November 3, 2003 through November 28, 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 records of the Transfer Agent delivered to the Reporting Person and a review of original stock certificates in the custody of the Reporting Person. The BA Custodial Statements indicate that BA retains custody of (i) 35,201,872 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer registered to Lancer Offshore, and (ii) 5,521,313 shares of Common Stock held for the benefit of Omnifund, of which 5,228,613 are registered to the Viator Fund. The number of shares registered to Lancer Offshore and Lancer Omnifund seem to be consistent with the records of the Transfer Agent delivered to the Reporting Person.

     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 40,723,185 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.

     Pursuant to the credit agreement dated as of December 1, 1999, as amended from time to time, between the Issuer and Lancer Offshore (the “Offshore Credit Agreement”), Lancer Offshore loaned the Issuer an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 payable on June 1, 2000 (the “Original Termination Date”).

CUSIP No. 268920204 SCHEDULE 13D Page 7 of 8 Pages

Pursuant to the credit agreement dated as of December 1, 1999, as amended from time to time, between the Issuer and the Viator Fund (the “Viator Credit Agreement” and, together with the Offshore Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), the Viator Fund loaned the Issuer an aggregate amount of $500,000 payable on the Original Termination Date. The Credit Agreements have since been amended and restated various times to amend the Original Termination Date. The records of the Receivership Entities in the possession of the Receiver indicate that the last modification to the Credit Agreement extended the Original Termination Date to July 1, 2002.

     Except as set forth above, 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.

     Except as set forth above, 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.
