 Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
          ------------------------------------------------- 

      All the shares of Common Stock currently held by Holdings were either
 obtained by Holdings as a direct or indirect capital contribution from Adia or
 acquired by Holdings with funds advanced or loaned to it by Adia from Adia's
 working capital.

      In the proposed transaction, Holdings proposes to exchange one share of
 Common Stock of Issuer for one-eighth of a share of common stock, par value CHF
 10.00 per share, of Adia S.A. and $14.00 in cash.  Based on the aforementioned
 terms, the aggregate amount of cash funds to be used by Holdings amounts to
 approximately $33 Million.

      Holdings has not yet determined the sources of the funds to be used in the
 proposed transaction.  Such sources may include working capital of Holdings
 received through capital contributions of Adia, funds advanced or loaned to
 Holdings by Adia from Adia's working capital, bank loans and other sources,
 including the liquidity facility from the Issuer (see Item 6.  Contracts,
                                                                ----------
 Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Issuer, below.)
 ------         

 Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
          ---------------------- 

      In April, 1987 Adia acquired 1,000,000 and 500,000 shares of Common Stock
 in addition to the 5,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.25 per
 share, of the Issuer previously held by Adia. A copy of the Stock Purchase
 Agreement between the Issuer and Adia, dated April 30, 1987 is filed as Exhibit
                                                                         -------
 B and incorporated herein by reference. The purpose of the transactions was to
 -
 strengthen the balance sheet of the Issuer and to enable the Issuer to make
 acquisitions in the future.

      In October and November 1989, Adia acquired additional shares of Common
 Stock because Adia believed that Issuer's shares of Common Stock were a good
 investment of Adia's funds.

      In July 1990, Adia determined that it could realize certain tax benefits
 if it were to increase its ownership of the Common Stock to the level which
 would permit Holdings, a then newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Adia to
 hold Adia's U.S. investments, to include the Issuer in its consolidated U.S.
 federal income tax returns ("Tax Consolidation").  Based upon the number of
                              -----------------                             
 shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then outstanding, Adia then
 believed Holdings would have to acquire, in addition to the Common Stock and
 Class B Common Stock of the Issuer then owned by Adia, a minimum of 1,783,553
 additional shares of Common Stock before it could effect Tax Consolidation.
 Accordingly, Adia intended to cause Holdings to acquire, through open market
 purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at least the number
 of additional shares of Common Stock required for Tax Consolidation.  Adia
 intended to transfer to Holdings all the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
 of the Issuer owned by Adia in the event Holdings acquired the additional
 shares required for Tax Consolidation.

      In connection with the foregoing, Holdings and the Issuer entered into a
 Tax Sharing Agreement dated July 25, 1990 (the "Tax Sharing Agreement")
                                                 ---------------------  
 providing for (i) the payment of Federal income taxes for periods during which
 the Issuer and Holdings are included in the same consolidated return (and the
 payment of state or local income taxes if the Issuer or a subsidiary of the
 Issuer is included in a state or local return with Holdings), (ii) the payment
 to Holdings of amounts representing a portion of its costs

                             (Page 8 of 22 Pages)
<PAGE>
 
 in preparing tax returns, and (iii) certain related matters.  A copy of the Tax
 Sharing Agreement is filed as Exhibit C and is incorporated herein by
                               ---------                              
 reference.  During the periods in which the Issuer is included in the
 consolidated Federal income tax returns of Holdings, Holdings is obligated
 under the Tax Sharing Agreement to pay all Federal income taxes of the
 consolidated group, but the Issuer will be obligated to reimburse Holdings
 under the Tax Sharing Agreement for its share of such taxes, determined as if
 the Issuer filed its tax returns separately from Holdings, reduced by the
 lesser of (i) 100% of the amount by which the consolidated Federal income taxes
 of the Issuer and Holdings for the taxable period are reduced by the losses and
 credits of Holdings and (ii) 20% of the Federal income taxes that the Issuer
 would have paid had it filed tax returns separately from Holdings.  During the
 same periods, Holdings is obligated under the Tax Sharing Agreement to
 reimburse the Issuer for the amount by which Holdings' Federal income taxes,
 determined as if Holdings filed its tax returns separately from Issuer, is
 reduced by the losses and credits of the Issuer, reduced by the lesser of (i)
 100% of the amount by which the consolidated Federal income taxes of the Issuer
 and Holdings for the taxable period are reduced by the losses and credits of
 the Issuer and (ii) 20% of Holdings' Federal income taxes for the period
 determined as if Holdings filed its tax returns separately from the Issuer.
 The same principles may apply to state and local taxes paid on a combined,
 consolidated or unitary basis.  Calculations under the agreement will be made
 by Holdings.

      In July 1992, Adia determined that Tax Consolidation and the benefits
 potentially available under the Tax Sharing Agreement were desirable.
 Accordingly, Adia transferred 5,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and
 caused to be transferred by Adiainvest S.A., a Swiss corporation and wholly-
 owned subsidiary of Adia ("Adiainvest"), 2,590,500 shares of Common Stock to
                           ------------
 Holdings with the result that Holdings currently holds (i) 4,632,348 shares of
 Common Stock, (ii) 5,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock and Tax
 Consolidation was achieved. Additionally, Adia caused all the shares of
 Professional Service Industries Holdings, Inc. to be transferred to Holdings.

      On March 22, 1994, the Board of Directors of Adia authorized its officers
 to initiate negotiations with the Issuer with respect to a proposed merger
 pursuant to which Holdings would acquire all the outstanding shares of Common
 Stock which it does not currently own. In the proposed merger, holders of
 Common Stock other than Holdings would be entitled to receive one-eighth of a
 share of common stock of Adia and $14.00 in cash per share of Common Stock. In
 connection with such a proposed merger, the Board of Directors of Adia also
 indicated its intention to authorize the commencement of a program for listing
 of american depositary receipts with respect to its shares of common stock of
 Adia on the New York Stock Exchange. Copies of the press releases by Adia dated
 March 23, 1994 and the Issuer dated March 22, 1994 are filed as Exhibit D and
                                                                 ---------    
 Exhibit E, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
 ---------                                                         

      In connection with the proposed merger, the Issuer has formed a special
 committee of its Board of Directors consisting of Mr. Anthony M. Frank and Ms.
 Priscilla Florence in order to evaluate the proposed merger.  It is anticipated
 that such special committee will negotiate on the Issuer's behalf the terms of
 any proposed merger.

      The Reporting Persons intend to continue to review Holdings investment's
 in the Issuer on the basis of various factors, including the business, affairs,
 financial condition and prospects of the Issuer and the Reporting Persons,
 conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry
 conditions.  Based upon such review, Holdings will take such actions in the
 future as the Reporting Persons deem appropriate in light of the circumstances
 existing from time to time.  If any of the Reporting Persons believes that
 further investment in the Issuer is attractive, whether because of the market
 price of the Issuer's securities or otherwise, they may acquire shares of the
 Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer.  Similarly, depending on market
 and other factors, the Reporting Persons

                             (Page 9 of 22 Pages)
<PAGE>
 
 may determine to dispose of some or all the shares of Common Stock currently
 owned by Holdings or otherwise acquired by the Reporting Persons.

 Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 -------  ------------------------------------ 

      (a)  Holdings beneficially owns and, through their direct or indirect
 ownership interest in Holdings, the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to
 beneficially own, 10,232,348 shares of Common Stock consisting of (i) 4,632,348
 shares of Common Stock held by Holdings and (ii) 5,600,000 shares of Class B
 Common Stock, par value $.25 per share, of the Issuer ("Class B Common Stock")
                                                         --------------------  
 held by Holdings, which are convertible into shares of Common Stock on a one-
 for-one basis.  The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Holdings
 represent 81.31% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based upon the
 6,983,783 shares of Common Stock disclosed by the Issuer to be outstanding as
 of February 28, 1994 in the Issuer's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
 January 2, 1994 and the additional 5,600,000 shares of Common Stock that would
 be issuable in connection with the conversion of the 5,600,000 shares of Class
 B Common Stock held by Holdings).  Because the Class B Common Stock has ten
 votes per share (as compared to one vote per share of Common Stock), Holdings
 controls, and the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to control, 96.27%  of
 the total outstanding voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Issuer
 entitled to vote in a general election of the Issuer's Board of Directors.

      (b)  Holdings has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole
 power to dispose or direct the disposition of, 10,232,348 shares of Common
 Stock consisting of (i) 4,632,348 shares of Common Stock held by Holdings and
 (ii) 5,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Holdings.  The other
 Reporting Persons, through their direct or indirect ownership interests in
 Holdings, may be able to influence Holdings' decisions concerning the exercise
 of such power (see Item 4.  Purpose of the Transaction., above).
                             --------------------------          

      (c)  During the past 60 days, neither the Reporting Persons, nor to the
 best of their knowledge, any person identified in Appendix I, II or III to this
 Statement, have effected any transactions in the shares of Common Stock.

      (d)  No other 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, any of
 the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Holdings.  The other Reporting
 Persons, through their direct or indirect ownership interest in the Purchaser,
 may be able to influence decisions concerning the exercise of such power.

      (e)  Not applicable.

           Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 and Adiainvest, which provides for a line of credit up to a maximum of
 $50,000,000.  Holdings repaid all borrowings under such line of credit on
 December 20, 1993.  The line of credit under the Adiainvest Loan Agreement
 terminated on December 31, 1993 pursuant to its terms.  On March 18, 1994,
 Issuer's board of directors formally approved an extension of the credit
 facility under the Adiainvest Loan Agreement (with otherwise identical terms)
 until December 31, 1994.  Copies of the Adiainvest Loan Agreement and the
 Adiainvest Assignment Agreement are filed as Exhibit J and Exhibit K,
                                              ---------     --------- 
 respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.  Pursuant to a Security
 and Pledge Agreement between Adiainvest and the Issuer, dated as of March 9,

            ---------------------------                                     
 Agreement, the 20.6% block was pledged to the Issuer as collateral in

 favor of the Issuer.  On the same day, Holdings executed a Security and Pledge
 Agreement, dated July 30, 1992 (the "Holdings Pledge Agreement") which
                                      -------------------------

 PRESS RELEASE


 ADIA REPORTS 1993 RESULTS

 THE ADIA GROUP GENERATED REVENUES OF CHF 3,114 MILLION IN 1993 COMPARED TO CHF
 3,212 IN THE PRIOR YEAR.  OPERATING INCOME WAS CHF 45.7 MILLION, COMPARED TO
 CHF 0.6 MILLION IN 1992.

 After deduction of financial expense, extraordinary charges for additional
 restructuring, taxes and income applicable to minority interests, the loss from
 continuing operations amounts to CHF 59 million.  The loss associated with
 non-core activities, including value adjustments on assets to be divested, was
 CHF 68 million.  The greater portion of this amount is attributable to the sale
 of Professional Services, Inc. (PSI), which was sold in December, 1993, and to
 the sale of Meridian Leasing, Inc.  Thus, the consolidated net loss for the
 year was CHF 127 million versus CHF 219 million in 1992, as per the following
 table:

 shares on the New York Stock Exchange.

 The board finally decided to seek shareholders approval for the creation of
 authorized share capital of CHF 3.7 million (or 370,000 shares) for the purpose
 of this transaction as well as to create shares for an employee stock option
 plan.

 FIRST QUARTER TREND AND 1994 OUTLOOK

 Results in the first quarter have been satisfactory.  Orders as well as
 operating profit are clearly higher than expected.  Adia's management is
 confident that the company will return to profitability in 1994.
