Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

pursuant to the terms of a variable rate business note guaranteed by George R.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

shares. At November 10, 2000, the balance was $250,000. The Family Partnership
also borrowed from George R. Schonath and is indebted to him in the amount of
$313,000 as of November 10, 2000. Mr. Schonath has lent funds to the Family
Partnership in the past, using, to a substantial degree, funds borrowed under a
line of credit and/or a first mortgage on his residence. At November 10, 2000,
Mr. Schonath had aggregate borrowings of $977,000 under the equity line of
credit and the first mortgage.

          Lake Country Investment, LLC (see Item 5) is indebted to U.S. Bank in
the amount of $270,000 as of November 10, 2000, which is guaranteed by George R.
Schonath and of which 34,000 shares of the Company held by Lake Country
Investment, LLC serve as collateral.

          The shares of the Company owned by the 401(k) Plan were purchased
predominantly with the funds contributed by the employer of participants in the
401(k) Plan and with a small amount of funds contributed directly by the
participants and are owned free and clear of any liens.

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

          The Reporting Parties acquired the Common Stock for general investment
purposes. Subsequent to the initial purchase of 120,000 shares of Common Stock
by George R. Schonath on or about September 6, 1997 and the spin-off of 88% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock by Bando McGlocklin Capital Corporation
("BMCC") to the shareholders of BMCC on or about that date, the Reporting
Parties have acquired shares of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market from
time to time. The Reporting Parties have believed and still believe that the
Common Stock is undervalued and is a good investment and expect to continue to
make purchases in the over-the-counter market from time to time.

          The Reporting Parties currently have no intention, plan or proposal,
though each Reporting Party reserves the right to subsequently devise or
implement such plan or proposal, with respect to:

          a. The disposition of securities of the Company;

          b. An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
     reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its
     subsidiaries;

          c. A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or
     any of its subsidiaries;

          d. Any change in the present board of directors or management of the
     Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or terms of
     directors or to fill any existing vacancy on the board;

          e. Any material changes in the present capitalization or dividend
     policy of the Company;


                                      -7-
<PAGE>

          f. Any other material change in the Company's business or corporate
     structure;

          g. Changes in the Company's Articles of Incorporation or bylaws or
     other actions which may impede the acquisition or control of the issuer by
     any person;

          h. Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a
     national securities exchange or to cease to be quoted on an inter-dealer
     quotation system of a registered national securities association;

          i. A class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for
     termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
     Exchange Act of 1934; or

          j. Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          To the best of the Reporting Parties' knowledge based on information
obtained from the Company, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company outstanding as of November 10, 2000, is 1,026,299 shares. For purposes
of determining the percentage ownership of the Reporting Persons, the number of
warrants (105,000) owned by the Family Limited Partnership and the number of
stock options (4,150) owned by George R. Schonath are considered as outstanding
shares of Common Stock

          (a) The Family Partnership beneficially owns an aggregate of 274,283
shares of Common Stock, which represents 24.14% of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock. George R. Schonath, the Managing General Partner, has
sole voting and dispositive power over such shares and is deemed to be the
beneficial owner of such shares for purposes of this Schedule 13D. Included in
such total are 169,283 shares held directly in the name of the Family
Partnership and 105,000 shares which can be purchased upon the exercise of a
stock purchase warrant. The stock purchase warrant is currently exercisable,
expires on September 6, 2004 and has an exercise price of $7.33 per share.
