         (c) The present principal occupation of the reporting person:

         Dominic J. Giuffre is a Vice President, a director and a principal
shareholder of Giuffre Bros. Cranes, Inc. ("Giuffre Cranes"), located at 6635

and transportable storage containers, to dealers and at retail, throughout the
United States. Mr. Giuffre is also a director, a Vice President and the
Secretary of the Issuer. The Issuer is a Wisconsin corporation which provides
direct financing (principally in the form of sales-type full payout leases) to
facilitate the acquisition of products by customers of Giuffre Cranes and
Rexworks, Inc. ("Rexworks"), a Delaware corporation which designs, manufacturers
and sells truck-mounted concrete mixers. The Issuer also provides financing to

         (f) Mr. Giuffre is a citizen of the United States.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Dominic J. Giuffre acquired beneficial ownership of 500 Shares upon the
inception of the Issuer in August, 1995; the aggregate purchase price of such
Shares was $130,000, which was paid by Mr. Giuffre with his personal funds. The
number of Shares beneficially owned by Mr. Giuffre increased from 500 to 200,000
as a result of a 400-for-1 split in its common stock effected by the Issuer in
June, 1998; no additional consideration was paid by Mr. Giuffre in connection
with such common stock split. Accordingly, Mr. Giuffre has paid an aggregate of
$130,000, in cash, to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 Shares (all of the Shares
beneficially owned by him as of the date of filing of this statement).

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         Mr. Giuffre has made the purchases described in Item 5 for purposes of
investment; based upon his continuing assessment of the business results and
prospects of the Issuer, market conditions, economic conditions and other
relevant factors, Mr. Giuffre may determine to dispose of all or a portion of
the Shares held by him or to purchase additional Shares for investment.
