SCHEDULE 13D
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS OF STOCK
On April 3, 1996, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman entered into an
agreement to purchase 200,000 shares of Stock from Paul Gillmor (the
"Gillmor Agreement"), which agreement superseded an earlier agreement
dated March 25, 1996. No shares have yet been purchased under the
Gillmor Agreement. The total purchase price for the shares is
$250,000 ($1.25 per share). 40,000 of the shares will be purchased
and transferred with a down payment of $50,000, which is expected to
occur on June 6, 1996. The purchase of the remaining 160,000 shares
will be financed by Mr. Gillmor. Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman will
execute a promissory note payable to Mr. Gillmor providing for
repayment of the remaining $200,000 in 16 quarterly payments. The
quarterly payment for the first year will be $6,250, the quarterly
payments for the second and third years will be $12,500 and the
quarterly payment for the fourth year will be $18,750. Interest will
be paid on the unpaid balance of the note at the rate of four percent
per annum. Upon receipt of each quarterly payment, 5,000 shares per
quarter will be transferred the first year, 10,000 shares per quarter
will be transferred in the second and third years and 15,000 shares
per quarter will be transferred in the fourth year. However, the
power to vote all of the remaining shares will be transferred to Mr.
Schwartz and Mr. Sherman when the downpayment of $50,000 is made and
the promissory note for the remaining shares is executed, which is
expected to be June 6, 1996. In addition, Mr. Schwartz and Mr.
Sherman have agreed to grant Mr. Gillmor an option for 20,000 shares
owned by the Reporting Group.
On April 2, 1996, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman also entered into an
agreement to purchase 110,000 shares of Stock from Mr. Lyman
Brownfield, Ms. Candace Brownfield and Ms. Charlotte Huddle (the
"Brownfield Agreement"), which agreement superseded an earlier
agreement dated March 28, 1996. No shares have yet been purchased
under the Brownfield Agreement. The total purchase price for the
shares is $137,500 ($1.25 per share). 20,000 shares will be purchased
and transferred with a downpayment of $25,000. The remaining 90,000
shares will be purchased over a five-year period, with 9,000 shares
being purchased in year one, 18,000 shares being purchased in each of
years two, three and four and 27,000 shares being purchased in year
five. The purchase of the 90,000 shares of Stock will be financed by
Mr. Brownfield. Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman will execute a
promissory note payable to Mr. Brownfield in the amount of $112,500.
The promissory note will be repayable in quarterly installments at an
interest rate of four percent per annum. As each quarterly payment is
made, 25 percent of the shares allocable to the year in which the
shares are purchased will be transferred to Mr. Schwartz and Mr.
Sherman. Upon execution of the promissory note and payment of the
$25,000 downpayment, Mr. Brownfield will transfer voting power for
the remaining 90,000 shares to Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman, subject
to cancellation upon 45 days default.

SCHEDULE 13D
All payments required by the Gillmor Agreement and the Brownfield
Agreement ($387,500) will be financed with the personal funds of the
Reporting Persons. Each of the Reporting Persons has orally agreed to
contribute a percentage of the total payments required by the Gillmor
Agreement and the Brownfield Agreement and, in turn, each of the
Reporting Persons will acquire a corresponding percentage of the
total shares being acquired (310,000 shares). Mr. Binsky will finance
approximately 30.08% of the total payments ($116,560), Mr. Gardner
will finance approximately 5% of the total payments ($19,375), Mr.
Schwartz will finance approximately 31.665% of the total payments
($122,702), Mr. Sherman will finance approximately 31.665% of the
total payments ($122,702), and Mr. Warren will finance approximately
1.59% of the total payments ($6,161). Each of the Reporting Persons
will be responsible for the amounts due under the Gillmor Agreement
and the Brownfield Agreement on a several, but not joint, basis.
In addition to using funds derived from personal resources, the
Reporting Persons are contemplating the following to fund the debt
due under the promissory notes executed in connection with the
Gillmor Agreement and the Brownfield Agreement:
(1). The sale of a portion of the Stock acquired under the
agreements to an employee stock ownership plan which may be
formed for Resource General. The employee stock ownership plan
would fund the purchase of the stock with bank debt.
(2). The sale of a portion of the Stock acquired under the
agreements to third parties including, but not limited to,
directors, officers, employees and shareholders of Resource
General.
The Gillmor Agreement is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. The Brownfield Agreement is set
forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
AUTHORIZATION OF PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
The purchases under the Gillmor Agreement and the Brownfield
Agreement are subject to, and were submitted for, shareholder
approval at the Special Meeting of Resource General held on May 28,
1996, as required by Ohio's Control Share Acquisition Law. A quorum
was present at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, and a
sufficient number of shares were voted in favor of the proposed
acquisitions to permit them to proceed. The Reporting Group
anticipates that definitive documents providing for the purchase of
the Stock as described herein will be formalized and signed by June
14, 1996.

the down payment.
6. Both parties will keep the agreement confidential until proper documents
are filed with the SEC.
7. Lyman Brownfield will prepare a release agreement terminating all claims he

PAGE 9 OF 23 PAGES
2,848 of the shares of Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Schwartz were
purchased with the personal funds of Mr. Schwartz and 10,000 of the

owned by Mr. Sherman are shares issuable under existing options not
yet exercised.
On April 3, 1996, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman entered into an
agreement to purchase 200,000 shares of Stock from Paul Gillmor (the
"Gillmor Agreement"), which agreement superseded an earlier agreement
dated March 25, 1996. No shares have yet been purchased under the
Gillmor Agreement. The total purchase price for the shares is $250,000
($1.25 per share). 40,000 of the shares will be purchased and
transferred with a down payment of $50,000. The purchase of the
remaining 160,000 shares will be financed by Mr. Gillmor. Mr. Schwartz
and Mr. Sherman will execute a promissory note payable to Mr. Gillmor
providing for repayment of the remaining $200,000 in 16 quarterly
payments. The quarterly payment for the first year will be $6,250, the
quarterly payments for the second and third years will be $12,500 and
the quarterly payment for the fourth year will be $18,750. Interest
will be paid on the unpaid balance of the note at the rate of four
percent per annum. Upon receipt of each quarterly payment, 5,000
shares per quarter will be transferred the first year, 10,000 shares
per quarter will be transferred in the second and third years and
15,000 shares per quarter will be transferred in the fourth year.
However, the power to vote all of the remaining shares will be
transferred to Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman when the downpayment of
$50,000 is made and the promissory note for the remaining shares is
executed. In addition, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman have agreed to
grant Mr. Gillmor an option for 20,000 shares owned by the Reporting
Group.
On April 2, 1996, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman also entered into an
agreement to purchase 110,000 shares of Stock from Mr. Lyman
Brownfield, Ms. Candace Brownfield and Ms. Charlotte Huddle (the
"Brownfield Agreement"), which agreement superseded an earlier
agreement dated March 28, 1996. No shares have yet been purchased
under the Brownfield Agreement. The total purchase price for the
shares is $137,500 ($1.25 per share). 20,000 shares will be purchased
and transferred with a downpayment of $25,000. The remaining 90,000
shares will be purchased over a five-year period, with 9,000 shares
being purchased in year one, 18,000 shares being purchased in each of
years two, three and four and 27,000 shares being purchased in year
five. The purchase of the 90,000 shares of Stock will be financed by
Mr. Brownfield. Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman will execute a promissory
note payable
<PAGE> 53
PAGE 10 OF 23 PAGES
to Mr. Brownfield in the amount of $112,500. The promissory note will
be repayable in quarterly installments at an interest rate of four
percent per annum. As each quarterly payment is made, 25 percent of
the shares allocable to the year in which the shares are purchased
will be transferred to Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman. Upon execution of
the promissory note and payment of the $25,000 downpayment, Mr.
Brownfield will transfer voting power for the remaining 90,000 shares
to Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman, subject to cancellation upon 45 days
default.
All payments required by the Gillmor Agreement and the Brownfield
Agreement ($387,500) will be financed with the personal funds of the
Reporting Persons. Each of the Reporting Persons has orally agreed to
contribute a percentage of the total payments required by the Gillmor
Agreement and the Brownfield Agreement and, in turn, each of the
Reporting Persons will acquire a corresponding percentage of the total
shares being acquired (310,000 shares). Mr. Binsky will finance
approximately 30.08% of the total payments ($116,560), Mr. Gardner
will finance approximately 5% of the total payments ($19,375), Mr.
Schwartz will finance approximately 31.665% of the total payments
($122,702), Mr. Sherman will finance approximately 31.665% of the
total payments ($122,702), and Mr. Warren will finance approximately
1.59% of the total payments ($6,161). Each of the Reporting Persons
will be responsible for the amounts due under the Gillmor Agreement
and the Brownfield Agreement on a several, but not joint, basis.
In addition to using funds derived from personal resources, the
Reporting Persons are contemplating the following to fund the debt due
under the promissory notes executed in connection with the Gillmor
Agreement and the Brownfield Agreement:
(1). The sale of a portion of the Stock acquired under the
agreements to an employee stock ownership plan which may be
formed for Resource General. The employee stock ownership plan
would fund the purchase of the stock with bank debt.
(2). The sale of a portion of the Stock acquired under the
agreements to third parties including, but not limited to,
directors, officers, employees and shareholders of Resource
General.
The Gillmor Agreement is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. The Brownfield Agreement is set
forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.

PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS OF STOCK
On April 3, 1996, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman entered into an
agreement to purchase 200,000 shares of Stock from Paul Gillmor (the
"Gillmor Agreement"), which agreement superseded an earlier agreement
dated March 25, 1996. No shares have yet been purchased under the
Gillmor Agreement. The total purchase price for the shares is
$250,000 ($1.25 per share). 40,000 of the shares will be purchased
and transferred with a down payment of $50,000. The purchase of the
remaining 160,000 shares will be financed by Mr. Gillmor. Mr.
Schwartz and Mr. Sherman will execute a promissory note payable to
Mr. Gillmor providing for repayment of the remaining $200,000 in 16
quarterly payments. The quarterly payment for the first year will be
$6,250, the quarterly payments for the second and third years will be
$12,500 and the quarterly payment for the fourth year will be
$18,750. Interest will be paid on the unpaid balance of the note at
the rate of four percent per annum. Upon receipt of each quarterly
payment, 5,000 shares per quarter will be transferred the first year,
10,000 shares per quarter will be transferred in the second and third
years and 15,000 shares per quarter will be transferred in the fourth
year. However, the power to vote all of the remaining shares will be
transferred to Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman when the downpayment of
$50,000 is made and the promissory note for the remaining shares is
executed. In addition, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman have agreed to
grant Mr. Gillmor an option for 20,000 shares owned by the Reporting
Group.
On April 2, 1996, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman also entered into an
agreement to purchase 110,000 shares of Stock from Mr. Lyman
Brownfield, Ms. Candace Brownfield and Ms. Charlotte Huddle (the
"Brownfield Agreement"), which agreement superseded an earlier
agreement dated March 28, 1996. No shares have yet been purchased
under the Brownfield Agreement. The total purchase price for the
shares is $137,500 ($1.25 per share). 20,000 shares will be purchased
and transferred with a downpayment of $25,000. The remaining 90,000
shares will be purchased over a five- year period, with 9,000 shares
being purchased in year one, 18,000 shares being purchased in each of
years two, three and four and 27,000 shares being purchased in year
five. The purchase of the 90,000 shares of Stock will be financed by
Mr. Brownfield. Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Sherman will execute a
promissory note payable to Mr. Brownfield in the amount of $112,500.
The promissory note will be repayable in quarterly installments at an
interest rate of four percent per annum. As each quarterly payment is
made, 25 percent of the shares allocable to the year in which the
shares are purchased will be transferred to Mr. Schwartz and Mr.
Sherman. Upon execution of the promissory note and payment of the
$25,000 downpayment, Mr. Brownfield will

transfer voting power for the remaining 90,000 shares to Mr. Schwartz
and Mr. Sherman, subject to cancellation upon 45 days default.
All payments required by the Gillmor Agreement and the Brownfield
Agreement ($387,500) will be financed with the personal funds of the
Reporting Persons. Each of the Reporting Persons has orally agreed to
contribute a percentage of the total payments required by the Gillmor
Agreement and the Brownfield Agreement and, in turn, each of the
Reporting Persons will acquire a corresponding percentage of the
total shares being acquired (310,000 shares). Mr. Binsky will finance
approximately 30.08% of the total payments ($116,560), Mr. Gardner
will finance approximately 5% of the total payments ($19,375), Mr.
Schwartz will finance approximately 31.665% of the total payments
($122,702), Mr. Sherman will finance approximately 31.665% of the
total payments ($122,702), and Mr. Warren will finance approximately
1.59% of the total payments ($6,161). Each of the Reporting Persons
will be responsible for the amounts due under the Gillmor Agreement
and the Brownfield Agreement on a several, but not joint, basis.
In addition to using funds derived from personal resources, the
Reporting Persons are contemplating the following to fund the debt
due under the promissory notes executed in connection with the
Gillmor Agreement and the Brownfield Agreement:
(1). The sale of a portion of the Stock acquired under the
agreements to an employee stock ownership plan which may be
formed for Resource General. The employee stock ownership plan
would fund the purchase of the stock with bank debt.
(2). The sale of a portion of the Stock acquired under the
agreements to third parties including, but not limited to,
directors, officers, employees and shareholders of Resource
General.
The Gillmor Agreement is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. The Brownfield Agreement is set
forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The acquisition of the Stock is being made for the following
purposes:
