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

Mr. Napier has utilized personal funds in connection with the acquisition reflected in Item 4. No part of the price paid for the shares was represented by funds borrowed or otherwise obtained for the purpose of acquiring, holding, trading or voting the securities.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On September 28, 2001, Mr. Napier purchased 12,500 shares of Lenox Common Stock from Lenox at $11.00 per share. Certain other Lenox officers and directors purchased 56,000 shares of Lenox Common Stock at $11.00 per share.

Mr. Napier acquired the Lenox Common Stock for investment purposes. Mr. Napier may, from time to time, acquire additional securities of Lenox through a broker and/or privately negotiated transactions.

Other than as set forth above or as otherwise disclosed in the solicitation materials filed by John Lame in connection with Lenox's 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Mr. Napier does not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in actions under any of the following paragraphs of Item 4, Schedule 13D:

the acquisition by any person of additional securities of Lenox, or the disposition of securities of Lenox;
an extraordinary corporation transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Lenox or any of its subsidiaries;
a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Lenox or of any of its subsidiaries;
any change in the present board of directors or management of Lenox, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of Lenox;
any other material change in Lenox's business or corporate structure;
