Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         See Item 4 herein.


Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction

         The  Issuer  consummated  a plan of  recapitalization  on June 4, 1999,
pursuant to which,  among other things:  (i) each $15.00 Class A Increasing Rate
Cumulative  Senior  Preferred  Share  ($100  liquidation),  $.01 par value,  was
reclassified into 20 Common Shares and one Warrant;  and (ii) each $3.00 Class B
Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred Share,  $.10 par value, was reclassified into
1/3 of a Common Share and five  Warrants.  As a result of the  recapitalization,
the 62,301  Class A Senior  Preferred  Shares and the 50,000  Class B  Preferred
Shares  beneficially  owned by the  Reporting  Persons  were  reclassified  into
1,262,686 Common Shares and 312,301 Warrants.

         Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the  Reporting  Persons has
any present  plans or  proposals  which  relate to or would result in any of the
matters  set forth in  paragraphs  (a)  through  (j) of Item 4 of  Schedule  13D
(although the right to develop such plans or proposals is  reserved).  Depending
upon the market price thereof and upon other conditions, Registrants may acquire
additional  securities  of the  Issuer  from time to time in the open  market or
otherwise.  In  addition,  depending  upon market  prices and other  conditions,
Registrants  may  dispose of the  securities  of the Issuer at any time and from
time to time in the open market or  otherwise at prices  which  Registrants  may
determine.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a) As of the date hereof,  Registrants  may be deemed to  beneficially
own, in the aggregate: (i) 1,262,686 Common Shares,  representing  approximately
5.4% of the 23,317,261 Common Shares outstanding as of June 4, 1999 (as reported
in the Issuer's  registration  statement on Form S-1, File No.  333-79837);  and
(ii)  312,301  Warrants,  representing  approximately  1.7%  of  the  17,898,629
Warrants outstanding as of June 5, 1999.

         Assuming  exercise of the Warrants held by the Reporting  Persons only,
the percentage of the Common Shares that the Reporting  Persons may be deemed to
beneficially own would be 6.7%.  Assuming exercise of all outstanding  Warrants,
the  percentage  of Common  Shares that the  Reporting  Persons may be deemed to
beneficially own would be 3.8%.

         (b)  Tortoise  has sole voting  power and sole  dispositive  power with
regard to 1,242,686 Common Shares and 311,301  Warrants.  Little Meadow has sole
voting power and sole dispositive  power with regard to 20,000 Common Shares and
1000 Warrants.  Chelonian,  Unicorn,  ACF, ACF Holding,  Highcrest,  Buffalo and
Starfire  have shared voting power and shared  dispositive  power with regard to
1,242,686  Common Shares and 311,301  Warrants.  Carl C. Icahn has shared voting
power and shared  dispositive  power with regard to 1,262,686  Common Shares and
312,301 Warrants.

          Chelonian, Unicorn, ACF, ACF Holding, Highcrest, Buffalo, Starfire and
Mr. Icahn,  by virtue of their  relationships  to Tortoise (as disclosed in Item
2),  may be deemed to  beneficially  own (as that term is  defined in Rule 13d-3
under  the  Act)  the  Common  Shares  and  Warrants  which  Tortoise   directly
beneficially  owns.  Each of Chelonian,  Unicorn,  ACF, ACF Holding,  Highcrest,
Buffalo,  Starfire and Mr. Icahn disclaims  beneficial  ownership of such Common
Shares  and  Warrants  for all  other  purposes.  Mr.  Icahn,  by  virtue of his
relationship  to  Little  Meadow  (as  disclosed  in Item 2),  may be  deemed to
beneficially own (as the term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Common
Shares and Warrants which Little Meadow  beneficially  owns. Mr. Icahn disclaims
beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes.

         (c)      See Item 4 herein.

         (d)      Not applicable.

         (e)      Not applicable.
