Item 3.           Source And Amount Of Funds Or Other Consideration

         Pursuant to the Stock Purchase  Agreement,  attached as Exhibit A, 
the purchase price of the shares of the Issuer is  approximately  $22.4  
million  which  will be funded  from  existing working capital of BBC.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction

         On June 5, 1997,  BBC entered  into a Stock  Purchase  Agreement  with
Richard D. Levy, Harry A.  Levy and Mark A.  Levy  (the  "Executive  Sellers") 
and  certain  other  sellers  (the Executive  Sellers and other sellers are 
collectively  referred to as the "Sellers")  pursuant to which BBC will acquire
from the Sellers  1,146,227  shares (61.1%) of the Class A Common Stock of
the Issuer and 734,381  shares  (26.2%) of the Class B Common  Stock of the
Issuer.  The purchase of the  shares  pursuant  to the Stock  Purchase  
Agreement  is  subject to a number of terms and conditions, including the 
completion of a due diligence review by BBC.

         Pursuant  to the  Stock  Purchase  Agreement,  upon  consummation,  
BBC will  acquire  a controlling  interest  in the Issuer and the  Executive  
Sellers  have agreed that they will take such  actions as necessary  or  
appropriate  (subject to their  respective  fiduciary  duties) to cause  the 
appointment  of BBC's  designees  to the  Issuers  Board  of  Directors  
(subject  to compliance  with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, if applicable)
and shall  thereafter  submit their  resignations  as officers  and  directors
of the Issuer and the Issuer  Subsidiaries  and shall use their best efforts 
(subject to their  respective  duties and obligations) to obtain the
resignations  of the balance of the  directors  of the Issuer who were  elected
 by the holders of the Class A Common  Stock.  It is  anticipated  that John E. 
Abdo,  Vice  Chairman  of BBC,  will assume  operating   responsibility  for  
the  Issuer  after  the  acquisition.   Other  executive management changes, 
if any, have not been determined at this time.


<PAGE>

         Additionally,  pursuant  to the terms of the Stock  Purchase  
Agreement,  BBC has agreed that in the event that  pursuant to the terms of the
Issuer's  outstanding  12-1/2%  Senior Notes due 2003 (the  "12-1/2%  Notes"),
the Issuer is required  to redeem or offer to purchase  all or any portion of 
the 12-1/2% Notes as a consequence of the  transactions  contemplated by the 
Stock Purchase  Agreement,  BBC will,  subject  to the  approval  of the 
Issuer's  Board of  Directors pursuant to Section  607.0901(4)(a)  Florida  
Statutes,  either (i) advance the funds directly to the  Issuer  to fund  such
required  redemption  on  terms  consistent  with  the  terms  of the 
outstanding  12-1/2%  Notes or (ii) will offer to acquire the  12-1/2%  Notes 
and take such other steps and  actions as may be  necessary  so that the Issuer
 is not in default  under the terms of the 12-1/2% Notes.

         Further,  pursuant  to the  terms of the Stock  Purchase  Agreement, 
in the event  that pursuant to the terms of the Issuer's $10 million line of 
credit with Ohio Savings  Bank,  F.S.B.("Ohio  Savings")  (as may be renewed or
extended),  such line of credit is called or terminated as a  consequence  of a
"Change of  Control of  Borrower"  as defined  therein  and the Issuer is
unable to replace such line of credit with a third party  institution,  BBC 
will,  subject to the approval of the Issuer's Board of Directors  pursuant to
Section  607.0901(4)(a),  provide a line of credit to the Issuer  consistent  
with the amount and terms of the Ohio Savings line of credit including,  but 
not limited to, interest rate, term,  collateral,  covenants and fees on or 
prior to the termination of the Ohio Savings line of credit.

         BBC  may  from  time  to  time  buy  additional  securities  of the  
Issuer.  Except  as described  herein,  the Issuer has no present plan or 
proposal which would relate to or result in any of the transactions described 
in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13-D.

The  foregoing  description  of the Stock  Purchase  Agreement  is  qualified  
in its entirety by reference  to the  Stock  Purchase  Agreement  which is  
attached  hereto  as  Exhibit A which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         After   consummation   of  the  Stock  Purchase   Agreement,   BBC  
will  own  1,146,227 (approximately  61.1%) of the  issued  and  outstanding 
shares  of the Class A Common  Stock and 734,381  (approximately  26.2%) of the
issued and outstanding  shares of the Class B Common Stock of the Issuer.

         Subject to the terms and  conditions of the Stock Purchase  Agreement,
BBC will acquire the Shares for the Shares $12.00 per share in a private
transaction.

Agreement,  attached as Exhibit A, BBC is not a party to any contract,
