jurisdiction the result of which proceeding was 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

         No separate consideration was paid by Solution 6 or EIG in connection
with the Stockholders Agreement.

         However, the shares of Elite Common Stock subject to the Stockholders
Agreement are covered by the Merger Agreement. If EIG acquires all of the Elite
Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D and all of the other issued and
outstanding Elite Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement (collectively,
the "Shares"), EIG will pay an aggregate of approximately $92.5 million. The
funds EIG will use if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are
consummated will be provided by a bridge loan from Warburg Dillon Read,
Australia Limited ("WDRAL"), proceeds from the exercise of an option held by
Telstra Corp. are working capital.

         WDRAL has committed to provide Solution 6 with a maximum of US$60
million as an acquisition bridge facility (the "Facility") pursuant to an
amended term sheet dated December 17, 1999. If drawn upon, the maturity date for
the Facility will be the earlier of July 31, 2000 or 14 days after the
consummation of the Merger. Solution 6 plans to repay the Facility from the
proceeds from the first US$20 million received pursuant to the Private Placement
(as discussed below), up to US$30 million pursuant to a dividend, return of
capital or loan from Elite immediately upon consummation of the Merger and from
working capital. WDRAL's commitment to provide the Facility will expire if the
Minimum Condition, as defined in the Merger Agreement, has not been reached by
May 2, 2000 and Solution 6 has not terminated the Offer and accepted Shares for
payment by that date. Additionally, WDRAL may terminate the commitment if
Solution 6 and WDRAL have not entered into definitive documentation and executed
the Facility by February 15, 2000, and Purchaser may terminate the Facility at
any time, with or without cause.

         The base interest rate (the "Base Rate") on the Facility shall be the
average rate as displayed on Reuters screen LIBO for the relevant Interest
Period (as defined below) set to London business days prior to drawing. In
addition to the Base Rate, amounts drawn under the Facility will be subject to
an additional 2.0% interest from the date of the draw until 45 days thereafter,
and an additional 4.0% from 45 days after the date of the draw until July 31,
2000. Furthermore, interest shall be payable on any undrawn amounts under the
Facility at 1.0% from March 31, 2000 until July 31, 2000, calculated on a daily
basis and payable quarterly in arrears. Interest Periods shall be 30, 60 or 90
days, or as otherwise agreed. Interest is payable on the Facility at the end of
the Interest Period.

         The Facility is secured by a first priority lien, unless a first
priority lien is already in place in which case the Facility shall be secured by
a second priority lien with second priority liens capped at A$10 million, on
most of Solution 6's assets, proceeds from the issuances of Solution 6's
securities, proceeds from any sale of the Shares or Elite's assets once the
acquisition of Elite has been completed.

         Solution 6 is obligated to pay certain fees in connection with the
Facility. Upon execution of the commitment letter and the announcement of the
Merger, an aggregate amount of US$523,000 as a commitment fee for the Facility
was payable by Solution 6. A restructure fee in the amount of $78,000 was also
payable by Solution 6 in connection with an amendment to the facility on
December 17, 1999. When Solution 6 draws upon the Facility, an amount equal to
1.0% of the amount drawn will be payable to WDRAL as an additional fee. However,
WDRAL will rebate an amount equal to 0.5% of the amounts drawn if the Facility
is repaid within 45 days of such draw down.

         As required as a condition to the Facility, Solution 6 undertook a
private placement of A$120 million of its ordinary shares at a price of A$9.75
per share (the "Private Placement"). Subscriptions for A$120 million were
received on December 17, 1999 with settlement to occur on December 22, 1999. The
joint lead managers of the Private Placement have assumed the underwriting risk
from December 17, 1999 through the settlement date.

         Mandatory prepayment or reduction of outstanding commitments under the
Facility will occur from funds received by Solution 6 from any of the following
sources:

              (1) the first US$20 million received pursuant to the Private
         Placement;

              (2) the placement of any other of Solution 6's securities
         (excluding the A$50 million issuance of shares to Telstra and any other
         share issuances to vendors used to fund acquisitions approved by
         WDRAL);

              (3) the sale of any of Solution 6's assets;

              (4) any return of capital or loan from Elite; and

              (5) the sale of any Shares of Elite.

         Additionally, if the transaction involving a specific potential
acquisition candidate is not announced by January 31, 2000 and is not pursuant
to the conditions required by WDRAL in the Facility, or if the offer to purchase
that acquisition candidate is withdrawn, a further mandatory prepayment or
reduction of US$13 million will be required at that time. Mandatory prepayments
and reduced commitments cannot be redrawn and will be converted to US dollars at
the exchange rate prevailing at the time of the prepayment or commitment
reduction and as advised in good faith by WDRAL to Parent.

         There are several conditions precedent that Solution 6 must satisfy
prior to making any draws upon the Facility. All loan and security documentation
must be completed to WDRAL's satisfaction, the fees described above must have
been paid and Solution 6 must have received at least A$50 million in connection
with the issuance of shares to Telstra pursuant to the exercise of an option.
The Telstra option has been exercised and the A$50 has been received by Solution
6. Additionally, at least 50.1% of Elite's Shares must have been tendered to
Solution 6 at a cost to Solution 6 of US$62.6 million for the Shares.

         With respect to the Facility, Solution 6 has agreed to the following:

              (1) Solution 6 shall not enter into an amendment or waive any
         conditions to the Offer or the Merger Agreement without the consent of
         WDRAL;

              (2) Solution 6 shall not enter into a material amendment or waive
         any material conditions to the specific acquisition candidate's
         transaction without the consent of WDRAL;

              (3) Upon acquiring at least 50.1% of the Shares, Solution 6 shall
         take control of Elite's board of directors, use its best efforts to
         acquire 100% of the Shares as soon as practicable and in any event by
         July 16, 2000;

              (4) Immediately upon the consummation of the Merger, Solution 6
         shall cause Elite to make a payment of at least US$30 million to
         Solution 6 by way of a dividend, return of capital or loan and cause
         Elite to provide a guarantee and provide a lien over its assets in
         favor of WDRAL;

              (5) Upon the reasonable request from WDRAL, Solution 6 shall enter
         into currency hedging arrangements acceptable to WDRAL with respect to
         the acquisition of Elite;

              (6) Solution 6 has agreed to restrictions on any capital
         reductions (except in respect of an agreed level of ordinary
         dividends);

              (7) Solution 6 has agreed to restrictions on disposal of assets or
         undertakings other than disposals in the ordinary course of business
         (except as reasonably agreed to by WDRAL) and disposals for good value
         applied in prepayment of the Facility;

              (8) Solution 6 has agreed to restrictions on further acquisitions
         in excess of A$5 million in the aggregate (except as reasonably agreed
         to by WDRAL);

              (9) Solution 6 has agreed to restrictions on incurring further
         financial indebtedness or providing financial accommodation or
         guarantees (except as reasonably agreed with WDRAL);

              (10) Solution 6 has agreed that it will have no dealings with any
         party except on arms length terms in the ordinary course of business;
         and

              (11) Solution 6 has agreed to restrictions on the creations of
         security interests.


ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         Elite and EIG entered into the Merger Agreement and the related
Stockholders Agreement with the intent of acquiring control of, and the entire
equity interest in, Elite.

         The Merger Agreement provides that as soon as practicable following the
consummation of the offer to purchase (the "Offer") all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Elite (the "Shares") and the satisfaction or waiver of
certain conditions, EIG will be merged with and into Elite (the "Merger"), with
Elite surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Solution 6.
At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), each outstanding
Share (other than the Elite Common Stock held by stockholders who perfect their
appraisal rights under Delaware law, Shares owned by the Company as treasury
stock and Shares owned by Solution 6) will be converted into the right to
receive $11.00 in cash (the "Merger Consideration"), without interest thereon.
The Merger is subject to a number of conditions including the adoption of the
Merger Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, if required by applicable
law. In the event Solution 6 acquires 90% or more of the outstanding Shares,
Solution 6 would be able to effect the Merger pursuant to the short-form merger
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law without prior notice to or
any action by, any other stockholder of Elite. In such event, Solution 6 could,
and intends to, effect the Merger without prior notice to, or any action by, any
other stockholder of the Company.

         The Merger Agreement provides that promptly upon the acceptance for
payment of, and payment by EIG for, any Shares pursuant to the Offer, EIG shall
be entitled to designate the number of directors on Elite's Board as will give
EIG, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act,
representation on the Board equal to at least that number of directors, rounded
up to the next whole number, which is the product of (a) the total number of
directors on the Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this
sentence) multiplied by (b) the percentage that (i) such number of Shares so
accepted for payment and paid for by EIG plus the number of Shares otherwise
owned by EIG or any other subsidiary of Solution 6 bears to (ii) the number of
such Shares outstanding, and Elite shall, at such time, cause EIG's designees to
be so elected; provided, however, that in the event that EIG designees are
appointed or elected to the Board, until the Effective Time the Board of Elite
shall have at least two directors who are directors on the date of the Merger
Agreement (the "Independent Directors"); and provided further that, in such
event, if the number of the Independent Directors shall be reduced to two for
any reason whatsoever, the remaining Independent Director shall be entitled to
designate a person to fill such vacancy who shall be deemed to be an Independent
Director for purposes of the Merger Agreement or, if no Independent Directors
then remain, the other directors promptly shall designate two persons to fill
such vacancies who shall not be officers, employees, stockholders or affiliates
of Solution 6 or EIG, and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent
Directors for purposes of the Merger Agreement. Subject to applicable law,
Elite has agreed to take all action reasonably requested by Solution 6
necessary to effect any such election. EIG's designees shall be divided
between the classes of directors as necessary to comply with the requirements
of Elite's bylaws. In connection with the foregoing, Elite shall, at the
option of Solution 6, either increase the size of the Board or obtain the
resignation of such number of its current directors as is necessary to enable
Solution 6's designees to be elected or appointed to the Board as provided
above.

         The Shares are currently registered under the Exchange Act. Solution 6
intends to seek to cause Elite to apply for termination of registration of the
Shares under the Exchange Act as soon after the completion of the Offer as the
requirements of such termination are met.

         Simultaneously with entering into the Merger Agreement Solution 6 and
E IG entered into the Stockholders Agreement with PAR Investment Partners, L.P.,
David A. Finley, Roger Noall, Christopher K. Poole, Alan Rick and William
Seymour (the "Stockholders") who have agreed, among other things, to sell to EIG
all the Shares that he or it beneficially owns at a price per Share equal to the
Merger Consideration. The stockholders have also agreed to tender such Shares in
the Offer at a price per Share equal to the Merger Consideration if directed to
do so by Solution 6. The Stockholders collectively own approximately 22.0% of
all outstanding Shares.
