office and the address of the principal business of Ziegler is located at 215 N.

manufacturers, and performing pollution abatement services.
Ziegler's operations are conducted through four industry segments, namely,
(1) broker-dealer, (2) hazardous waste management, (3) real estate financing and
(4) corporate and other. The industry segments are each served by a separate
subsidiary or group of subsidiaries.
Pursuant to General Instruction C of Schedule 13D, the names, business
addresses, principal occupations and citizenship of the executive officers and
directors of Ziegler are set forth in Annex A hereto and are incorporated herein
by reference.
(d) and (e). During the last five years, Ziegler and, to the knowledge of
Ziegler, Ziegler's executive officers and directors have 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 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 violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement (defined in Item 4
below) and as financial support for the Company during the time when the merger
is effected, Ziegler and the Company have entered into two financial agreements.
First, Ziegler has loaned the Company $500,000 out of Ziegler's working capital,
for which the Company has given Ziegler that certain Convertible Promissory Note
in the principal amount of $500,000, dated October 15, 1998 (the "First Note"),
the outstanding principal (excluding accrued interest) of which Ziegler may
convert, in whole or in part, into shares of Preferred Stock, no par value per
share of the Company (the "Preferred Shares" and together with Common Shares,
the "Shares") at a price per Preferred Share of $2.50 (the "Preferred Conversion
Rights"). Second, Ziegler has entered into a Credit Agreement with the Company,
under which Ziegler has agreed to make revolving credit loans to the Company out
of Ziegler's working capital in the maximum amount of $3,500,000, which loans
shall be evidenced by that single, certain Convertible Promissory Note given by
the
-3-
<PAGE>
Company in the principal amount of up to $3,500,000, dated November 3, 1998 (the
"Second Note" and together with the First Note, the "Notes"), the outstanding
principal and accrued interest of which Ziegler may convert, in whole or in
part, into Common Shares at a price per Common Share of $0.60 (the "Common
Conversion Rights" and together with the Preferred Conversion Rights, the
"Conversion Rights"). Additionally, Ziegler and the Company have entered into a
Preferred Stock Option Agreement, dated October 15, 1998, pursuant to which the
Company has granted Ziegler an option to purchase 111,818 Preferred Shares at
$2.50 per Preferred Share (the "Preferred Option"). Finally, Ziegler and the
Company have entered into a Common Stock Option Agreement, dated November 3,
1998, pursuant to which the Company has granted Ziegler an option to purchase
4,500,000 Common Shares at $0.60 per Common Share (the "Common Option" and
together with the Preferred Option, the "Options"). The Conversion Rights and
the Options are intended to increase the likelihood that the Offer and Merger
will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The
Conversion Rights and the Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any
time. Should Ziegler fully exercise its Conversion Rights and Options, it would
beneficially own 10,333,333 Common Shares of the Company, which represent 69.9%
of the Common Shares on a fully diluted basis (excluding options and warrants
held by other third parties), and 311,818 Preferred Shares of the Company,
which represent 69.3% of the Preferred Shares on a fully diluted basis. The
Conversion Rights will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the effective time of
the merger or (ii) payment by the Company of the entire unpaid principal and
accrued interest under the Notes, the Common Option will terminate on the later
of March 31, 1999 or 15 days after all loans (with interest) from Ziegler and
its affiliates to the Company have been repaid in full and all amounts due under
the Merger Agreement have been paid in full, and the Preferred Option will
terminate on December 31, 1999. If Ziegler wishes to exercise the Options,
Ziegler will use existing working capital to fund the exercise price of the
Options.
ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The Company, Ziegler, and ZACQ Corp., a Colorado corporation ("ZACQ") and
the wholly owned subsidiary of Ziegler, have entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated November 3, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"), which provides for a
merger of ZACQ and the Company (the "Transaction") as soon as practicable after
the purchase of shares pursuant to ZACQ's offer to purchase all of the
outstanding Common Shares and Preferred Shares at a purchase price of $0.60 per
Common Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon, and $2.50 per
Preferred Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon (upon the
terms and conditions of the offer to purchase and the related letter of
transmittal, which together constitute the "Offer"). The Transaction, which was
approved by the Boards of Directors of the constituent companies, is expected to
close shortly after all of the conditions to the consummation of the Transaction
are met or waived.
The Merger Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (c)(1)
to the Schedule 14D-1 filed jointly by Ziegler and ZACQ with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on November 10, 1998. The description of
the Merger Agreement set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things, as soon as
practicable after the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer and the
satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, all in
accordance with the relevant provisions of the Colorado Business Corporation Act
("CBCA"), ZACQ will be merged with and into the Company (the "Merger").
Following consummation of the Merger, the Company will continue as the surviving
corporation (the "Surviving Corporation") and will be a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Ziegler. At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each
issued and outstanding Share (other than Shares owned by the Company, Ziegler,
or any subsidiary of either, including ZACQ, or Shares with respect to which
appraisal rights are properly exercised under the CBCA ("Dissenting Shares")),
will be converted into and represent the right to receive $0.60 per Common Share
(or any higher price that may be paid for each Common Share pursuant to the
Offer) in cash, without interest thereon (the "Common Share Offer Price"), or
$2.50 per Preferred Share (or any higher price that may be paid for each
Preferred Share pursuant to the Offer) in cash, without interest thereon (the
"Preferred Share Offer Price"), as appropriate.
The Merger Agreement provides that, promptly upon the purchase by Ziegler
or any of its affiliates of such number of Common Shares which, when added to
the number of Common Shares owned by Ziegler and ZACQ,
-4-
<PAGE>
represents at least two-thirds of the outstanding Common Shares, from time to
time thereafter, Ziegler will be entitled to designate for election to the Board
of Directors of the Company a number of directors (rounded up to the next whole
number) that will give Ziegler representation on such Board equal to the product
of (i) the total number of directors on such Board and (ii) the percentage that
the aggregate number of Common Shares owned by Ziegler and ZACQ bears to the
total number of outstanding Common Shares. The Company has agreed, upon the
request by Ziegler, to promptly increase the size of the Board of Directors of
the Company and/or use its reasonable best efforts to secure the resignations of
such number of directors as is necessary to enable Ziegler's designees to be
elected to the Board and to cause the Ziegler's designees to be so elected.
In addition, the purchase of the Shares by ZACQ pursuant to the Offer will
reduce the number of Common Shares that might otherwise trade publicly and will
reduce the number of holders of Shares, which will adversely affect the
liquidity and market value of the remaining Shares held by shareholders other
than ZACQ. Consummation of the Transaction in accordance with the Merger
Agreement will eliminate all Shares held by anyone other than ZACQ and its
affiliates.
Following consummation of the Offer, the extent of the public market for
the Common Shares and the availability of price quotations will depend upon the
number of holders of Common Shares remaining at such time, the interest in
maintaining a market in Common Shares on the part of securities firms, the
possible termination of registration of Common Shares under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as described below, and
other factors.
The Common Shares are currently registered under the Exchange Act. The
Preferred Shares are not registered under the Exchange Act and the registration
of the Common Shares may be terminated upon application by the Company to the
Commission if there are fewer than 300 record holders of Common Shares. It is
the intention of ZACQ both to consummate the Transaction and to seek to cause an
application for such termination to be made as soon after consummation of the
Offer as the requirements for termination of registration of the Common Shares
are met. If such registration were terminated, the Company would no longer
legally be required to disclose publicly in proxy materials distributed to
holders of Common Shares the information which it now must provide under the
Exchange Act or to make public disclosure of financial and other information in
annual, quarterly and other reports required to be filed with the Commission
under the Exchange Act; and the officers, directors and 10% or more shareholders
of the Company would no longer be subject to the "short-swing" insider trading
reporting and profit recovery provisions of the Exchange Act. Furthermore, if
such registration were terminated, persons holding "restricted securities" of
the Company may be deprived of their ability to dispose of such securities under
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Concurrently with entering into the Merger Agreement and as financial
support for the Company during the time when the Merger is effected, Ziegler and
the Company have entered into a number of financial agreements, as described in
greater detail in Item 3 above. First, Ziegler has loaned the Company $500,000
out of Ziegler's working capital, for which the Company has given Ziegler the
First Note in the principal amount of $500,000, dated October 15, 1998, the
outstanding principal and accrued interest of which Ziegler may convert, in
whole or in part, into Preferred Shares of the Company at a price per Preferred
Share of $2.50. Second, Ziegler has entered into a Credit Agreement with the
Company, under which Ziegler has agreed to make revolving credit loans to the
Company out of Ziegler's working capital in the maximum amount of $3,500,000,
which loans shall be evidenced by the Second Note given by the Company in the
principal amount of $3,500,000, dated November 3, 1998, the outstanding
principal and accrued interest of which Ziegler may convert, in whole or in
part, into Common Shares of the Company at a price per Common Share of $0.60.
Third, Ziegler and the Company have entered into a Preferred Stock Option
Agreement, dated October 15, 1998, pursuant to which the Company has granted
Ziegler an option to purchase 111,818 Preferred Shares of the Company at $2.50
per Preferred Share. Finally, Ziegler and the Company have entered into a
Common Stock Option Agreement, dated November 3, 1998, pursuant to which the
Company has granted Ziegler an option to purchase 4,500,000 Common Shares of the
Company at $0.60 per Common Share.
In addition to the above financial agreements, as of the date hereof, 31 of
the Company's shareholders who beneficially own in the aggregate 262,277 Common
Shares and no Preferred Shares, including all of the Company's
-5-
<PAGE>
directors and officers who own Shares, have entered into Shareholder Tender
Agreements with Ziegler whereby the shareholders have agreed to tender to ZACQ
all of the Shares beneficially owned by such shareholders pursuant to the Offer
and not withdraw such shares (the "Shareholder Tender Agreements"). If any of
the conditions of the Offer as set forth herein have not been satisfied by March
31, 1999, the Shareholder Tender Agreements will terminate and Ziegler will
return all Shares tendered pursuant to such agreements.
The Conversion Rights, Options, and Shareholder Tender Agreements are
intended to ensure the likelihood that the Offer and Merger will be consummated
in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Conversion Rights and
the Options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time. Should Ziegler
fully exercise its Conversion Rights and Options (as determined as of the date
hereof), it would beneficially own 10,333,333 Common Shares of the Company,
which represent 69.9% of the Common Shares on a fully diluted basis (excluding
options and warrants held by other third parties), and 311,818 Preferred Shares
of the Company, which represent 69.3% of the Preferred Shares on a fully diluted
basis. The Conversion Rights will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the
effective time of the merger or (ii) payment by the Company of the entire unpaid
principal (excluding accrued interest) under the Notes, the Common Option will
terminate on the later of March 31, 1999 or 15 days after all loans (with
interest) from Ziegler and its affiliates to the Company are repaid in full and
all amounts due under the Merger Agreement have been paid in full, and the
Preferred Option will terminate on December 31, 1999. If Ziegler wishes to
exercise the Options, Ziegler will use existing working capital to fund the
exercise price of the Options.
The First Note is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (c)(3) of the
Schedule 14D-1 as filed jointly by Ziegler and ZACQ with the Commission on
November 10, 1998. The Credit Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to
Exhibit (c)(4) of the Schedule 14D-1. The Preferred Stock Option Agreement is
incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (c)(2) of the Schedule 14D-1. The
Common Stock Option Agreement is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit
(c)(5) of the Schedule 14D-1. The form of the Shareholder Tender Agreement is
incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit (c)(14) of the Schedule 14D-1. The
descriptions of such agreements set forth herein do not purport to be complete
and are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of the actual agreements.
Prior to entering into the agreements described above, Ziegler owned no
Common Shares or Preferred Shares. Except pursuant to the terms of the Credit
Agreement, the Common Stock Option Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the
Shareholder Tender Agreements, and as set forth either herein or in Schedule
14D-1 (including the offer to purchase) filed on November 10, 1998, Ziegler has
no plans or proposals which would result in the acquisition or disposition of
the Company Shares or any other action enumerated in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) and (b). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the Common Stock Option
Agreement, Ziegler has the right to acquire 10,333,333 (subject to adjustment
for changes in capitalization) of the Common Shares, representing 69.9% of the
outstanding Common Shares on October 22, 1998, as computed in accordance with
Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act. Should Ziegler fully exercise its
Conversion Rights and Options and purchase Common Shares, Common Shares will be
acquired by Ziegler with sole voting and dispositive power. Prior to entering
into the Credit Facility and Common Stock Option Agreement, Ziegler owned no
Common Shares of the Company.
(c). Except for the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, Common
Stock Option Agreement, Shareholder Tender Agreements, and the Merger Agreement,
there have been no transactions by Ziegler with respect to the Common Shares
during the 60 days preceding the date of this Schedule 13D.
(d). None.
(e). Not Applicable.

ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.
Other than the Merger Agreement, Common Stock Option Agreement, Preferred
Stock Option Agreement, Convertible Promissory Note, and Shareholder Tender
Agreements (see descriptions of each in Items 3 and 4 above), which are included
or incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13D, and agreements referred to or
contained therein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships between Ziegler and any other person, or, to the knowledge of
Ziegler, among any of Ziegler's executive officers and directors or between any
of Ziegler's executive officers and directors and any other person, with respect
to any securities of the Company.
