Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
On June 13, 2000, the Issuer consummated its Plan of Reorganization under
chapter 11 (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, (i) Brown's Dock received 530,257
shares of Common Stock in exchange for shares of the Issuer's $3.375 Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Series I Preferred") held by Brown's Dock, (ii) the Fund
received 1,007,789 shares of Common Stock in exchange for shares of the Series I
Preferred and shares of the Issuer's $3.50 Series II Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Series II Preferred" and together with the Series I Preferred, the

Page 15 of 25 Pages
<PAGE>
and (iii) the Executive Fund received 33,354 of Common Stock in exchange for
shares of the Series I Preferred and shares of the Series II Preferred held by
the Executive Fund. All shares of Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Persons
were canceled under the Plan.
In connection with the Plan, the Issuer issued rights (the "Rights") to
purchase Common Stock to holders of the Issuer's Preferred Stock (the "Rights
Offering"), including Brown's Dock, the Fund and the Executive Fund. The Fund
has acquired 381,649 shares of Common Stock and the Executive Fund has acquired
12,631 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Rights for a net investment cost
of $4,770,612.50 and $157,887.50, respectively. In addition, the Fund and the
Executive Fund have acquired 805,480 shares of Common Stock and 27,803 shares of
Common Stock, respectively, for a net investment cost of $10,068,500 and
$347,537.50, respectively, pursuant to a Standby Purchase Agreement, dated
March 22, 2000, pursuant to which the Fund and the Executive Fund, through the
General Partner, agreed to purchase Common Stock not otherwise acquired by
holders of Preferred Stock under the Rights Offering. The Fund and the Executive
Fund utilized internal funds to acquire the Common Stock.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Each of Brown's Dock, the Fund and the Executive Fund acquired and
continues to hold the shares of the Common Stock reported herein for investment
purposes. Depending on market conditions and other factors that any of Brown's
Dock, the Fund and the Executive Fund may deem material to its investment
decision, each of Brown's Dock, the Fund and the Executive Fund may purchase
additional shares of the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer in the
open market or in private transactions. Depending on these same factors, each of
Brown's Dock, the Fund and the Executive Fund may sell all or a portion of the
shares of the Common Stock that it now owns or hereafter may acquire on the open
market or in private transactions.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
At the close of business on June 13, 2000, (i) Brown's Dock had direct
beneficial ownership of 530,257 shares of Common Stock, (ii) the Fund had direct
beneficial ownership of 2,194,918 shares of Common Stock and (iii) the Executive
Fund had direct beneficial ownership of 73,788 shares of Common Stock. The
Reporting Persons constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the
Act, and therefore, each Reporting Person is deemed to have beneficial ownership
of 2,798,963 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") and such ownership represents
30.9% of the Common Stock and common stock equivalents issued and outstanding as
of June 13, 2000.
As of June 23, 2000, Phoenix, PXP and Inverness own all of the outstanding
equity interests of Brown's Dock and, as such, exercise control over Brown's
Dock. Consequently, by virtue of the exercise of such control, each of Phoenix,
PXP and Inverness may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the
Shares. By virtue of the relationship between each of the Fund and the Executive
Fund and the General Partner described in Item 2, the General Partner may be
deemed
Page 16 of 25 Pages
<PAGE>
to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by the
Fund and the Executive Fund. By virtue of the relationship between the General
Partner and each of DCPM and Inverness described in Item 2, each of DCPM and
Inverness may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares
beneficially owned by the General Partner. By virtue of the relationship between
Inverness and each of WMD and JCC described in Item 2, each of WMD and JCC may
be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially
owned by Inverness. By virtue of the relationship between WMD and Dunwoody
described in Item 2, Dunwoody may be deemed to possess indirect beneficial
ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by WCC, and, by virtue of the
relationship between JCC and Comis, described in Item 2, Comis may be deemed to
possess indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by the
JCC.
All such ownership percentages of the Common Stock reported herein are
based on the representation of the Issuer to the Reporting Persons that, as of
June 13, 2000, there were 9,059,000 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding and reported herein to the best knowledge and belief of the
Reporting Persons.
