the same agent and from the same block of shares, secured financing from the
same source, and agreed to share certain expenses related to the purchase. The
Reporting Persons do not admit that they acted in concert or are a "group" or a
single "person" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder, and each of the Reporting Persons
disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Shares held by any other Reporting

                  During the last five years, none of the Item 2 Persons: (i)
has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors), or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding 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.

                  Information with respect to each of the Item 2 Persons is
given solely by the Reporting Person under whose name such entity or individual
is listed on Appendix A. No Reporting Person is responsible for the completeness
or accuracy of the information concerning Item 2 Persons that it did not provide

open-market or engage in other transactions involving the Common Shares, subject
to any restrictions, regulations, registrations or filings required by law.

                  As disclosed in Item 2, the Reporting Persons have filed this
Schedule 13D because they may be deemed to be a "group" and therefore a single
"person" as defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acted
in concert in connection with the purchase of Common Shares because they
discussed their purchases, purchased through the same agent and from the same
block of Common Shares, secured financing from the same source, and agreed to
share certain expenses related to the purchase. The Reporting Persons do not
admit that they acted in concert or are a "group" or a single "person" for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and each of the Reporting Persons
disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Shares held by any other Reporting
Person.

                  Each of Mr. Jeffrey Schwartz and Mr. Glenn Pollack holds
options to acquire 4,000 Common Shares that are currently exercisable or become
exercisable within the next 60 days and each owns 22,000 Common Shares held by a
rabbi trust as part of a directors compensation plan maintained by Lexford that
each has the right to receive within 60 days under certain circumstances. The
rabbi trust is administered by a trustee appointed by Lexford and no information
was provided in Item 2 for this trust.

                  Except as described in this Item 4, none of the Reporting
Persons has any current plans or proposals that relate to or that would result
in any of the events described in Items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D. Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right to formulate plans or
proposals, and to take any action required to implement such plans or proposals,
in the future with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item
4 or with respect to any other matters the Reporting Person deems advisable.
Consistent with each of their investment purposes, each of the Reporting Persons
reserves the right, either alone or together with one or more persons (including
other Reporting Persons), to have discussions with management, members of the
board of directors and other shareholders (including other Reporting Persons) of
Lexford regarding its operations and plans for the future.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                  (a) Except as otherwise indicated in this Item 5(a),
information with respect to the number of Common Shares and the percentage of
issued and outstanding Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting
Persons is set forth in Items 7-11 and 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule
13D under such Reporting Person's name. The totals for each of Mr. Jeffrey
Schwartz and Mr. Glenn Pollack reflect the information disclosed in Item 4 with
regards to options to purchase Common Shares. If the Reporting Persons were
deemed a "group" and therefore a single "person" for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the
Reporting Persons collectively would beneficially own 856,425 Common Shares, or
9.0% of the outstanding Common Shares.

                  (b) Except as set forth in this Item 5(b), information with
respect to the sole or shared voting and dispositive power of each of the
Reporting Persons is set forth in Items 7-10 of the cover pages of this Schedule
13D.

                  Mr. Jeffrey Schwartz and Mr. Glenn Pollack have voting power,
but not dispositive power, over 6,647 and 5,614 restricted Common Shares,
respectively, held in the rabbi trust described in Item 4. The totals shown for
Mr. Jeffrey Schwartz and Mr. Glenn Pollack do not include 12,067 and 12,116
restricted Common Shares, respectively, held by that rabbi trust over which they
do not exercise either voting or dispositive power. Mr. Schwartz shares voting
power over certain of the Common Shares that are held in a joint account with
his wife, Lori R. Schwartz. Mr. Zdolshek shares voting power over the Common
Shares because they are held in a joint account with his wife, Gayle Zdolshek.

                  (c) A description of each transaction effected during the last
60 days by each of the Reporting Persons, other than the transactions set forth
in Item 3, is set forth in Appendix B.

                  (d) If Mr. Glenn Pollack or Mr. Jeffrey Schwartz exercise 
their repective right to participate in a tax loan program provided by the 
trustee of the rabbi trust discussed in Item 4, Lexford has the right to 
receive certain dividends from 8,000 Common Shares purchased thereby by each of
them through the exercise of such options granted to each of them in their 
capacity as directors of Lexford. Except as otherwise indicated in this 
Item 5(d), no person is known to have the right to receive, or the power to 
direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the 
Common Shares described in Item 5(a).

                  (e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6.           CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENT, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH 
                  RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                  As disclosed in Item 3, each of the Reporting Persons, except
BOCP, received a margin loan from Banc One Capital to finance part of the
purchase of Common Shares.  Each of these margin loans is secured by some or 
all of the Common Shares purchased by the Reporting Person. Default on a margin
loan made by Banc One Capital could result in Banc One Capital, an affiliate of
BOCP, receiving voting and dispositive power over the Common Shares currently 
owned by the defaulting Reporting Person through foreclosure. The Reporting
Persons agreed to share certain expenses related to the purchase of Common
Shares by adding $0.125 to the price of each Common Share purchased through
BOCP. This increase is reflected in the purchase price described in Item 3. The
Reporting Persons, except for Mr. George, have discussed, but not agreed to, 
the payment of fees to certain persons, including Brown Gibbons, BOCP and Mr.
George's financial adviser, in the event this investment is successful. Other
arrangements among the Reporting Persons are described in Item 4.

                  Except as disclosed in this Item 6, none of the Item 2 Persons
has any contracts or arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or
otherwise) with respect to any securities of Lexford, including but not limited
to the sharing of fees or expenses, the transfer or voting of Lexford Shares,
finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls,
guarantees of profits, guarantees against losses, division of profits or loss,
or the giving or withholding of proxies.

MARGIN AGREEMENT        BANC ONE CAPITAL MARKETS, INC.


In consideration of Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. opening one or more accounts
on my behalf, I (we) jointly and severally represent and agree to the terms set
forth below. Throughout this agreement, "I", "me" and "my" refer to each
applicant who signed the agreement and if more than one applicant, they are
jointly and severally bound. "You" and "your" shall refer to Banc One Capital
Markets, Inc..

1. I hereby grant a general lien and security interest to you in all monies,
securities, negotiable instruments or other property (collectively "Property")
in my account(s), now or in the future, or held by you for me, or in your
control or possession, in order to secure any liability or indebtedness owed by
me to you, whether arising from margin requirements, brokerage charges, losses
in the account(s) or interest charges.

2. I understand that you may, at your discretion and without notice to me, apply
and/or transfer any securities, contracts relating thereto, cash or any other
property therein, interchangeably between any of my accounts, whether individual
or joint from any of my accounts to any account guaranteed by me.

3. I will maintain at all times such margins as you may in your discretion
require and will pay on demand any debit balance owing with respect to any of my
accounts. I understand that your margin requirements may exceed those set by any
exchange or regulatory authority, and may differ from those established for
other accounts with your firm. You retain the right to require additional margin
at any time you deem it necessary or advisable. Any such call for additional
collateral may be met by delivery of additional marginable securities or cash.

4. I understand that you may, whenever in your discretion you deem it desirable
for your protection (and without the necessity of a margin call), without prior
demand, tender, and without any notice of the time or place of sales, sell any
or all securities or contracts relating thereto which may be in your possession
or which you may be carrying for me. You shall have the right to purchase for
your own account any or all of the aforesaid property at such sale, discharged
of any right of redemption, which is hereby waived. I will be liable to you for
any deficiencies in the account in the event of such liquidation of the
account(s) in whole or in part by you.

5. All transactions in any of my accounts are to be paid for or required margin
deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the settlement date.

6. I agree to be charged interest on any credit extended to or maintained for me
by you for the purpose of purchasing, carrying or trading in any security. The
interest rate charged shall be determined as explained in the "Credit Disclosure
Statement" which you have delivered to me.

7. You are hereby authorized to lend separately or together with the property of
others either to yourselves or to others the property which you may be carrying
for me on margin. This authorization shall apply to all accounts carried by you
for me and shall remain in full force until written notice of revocation is
received by you.

8. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any
other provision, nor a continuing waiver of the provision or provisions so
waived.

9. This agreement is entered into IN ADDITION TO, and does not replace or
nullify, the Customer Agreement entered into by the same parties. This Margin
Agreement is also governed by the pre-dispute arbitration agreement, as outlined
in the Customer Agreement.
