Romulus is a primary Member of Castor, holding approximately 48.9% of Castor's membership interests. The following are the names and principal occupations of the directors, executive officers and control persons of Romulus, both of whom are citizens of the United States of America:

Brad Singer

Director and President of Romulus; principal occupation is President of HRH Construction, Inc., a construction company, 1 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10016

Gary Singer

Consultant to Romulus; c/o HRH Construction, Inc., 1 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") each of the directors, officers, and control persons of the Reporting Persons set forth above (each, an "Individual") may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of New Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person for which such Individual is a director, officer, or control person. Each of the directors, officers, or control persons of the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of New Common Stock owned by such Reporting Person for which such Individual is a director, officer, or control person. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims that they are members of a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons or the Individuals have ever been: (i) convicted in any criminal proceeding, or (ii) a party to any civil proceeding commenced before a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is now subject to 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.

The Fourth Amended Reorganization Plan (the "Plan") of the Company, dated July 17, 2002, as subsequently amended, was confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court on August 21, 2002, and consummated by the Company on October 1, 2002. Upon consummation of the Plan, the holders of various interests and claims with respect to the Company received new equity and debt securities in exchange for those pre-existing interests and claims. Pursuant to the Plan, Castor exchanged 1,141,000 shares of pre-existing common stock for 24,205 shares of New Common Stock; 8,230 warrants, each representing the right to purchase one share of New Common Stock, with an exercise price of $10.00 (the "Series 1 Warrants"); and 8,230 warrants, each representing the right to purchase one share of New Common Stock, with an exercise price of $12.50 (the "Series 2 Warrants"). Also pursuant to the Plan, Castor exchanged $19,097,000 face amount of the Company's 11 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due December 1, 2007 (the "Notes") for 2,135,231 shares of New Common Stock. No additional consideration was paid by any Reporting Person.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On October 1, 2002 (the "Effective Date"), the Company consummated the Plan. On the Effective Date, the Parent cancelled all shares of its preexisting common stock and preferred stock, and simultaneously issued its New Common Stock, and certain additional rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to acquire New Common Stock, in the amounts and on the terms set forth in the Plan. The Reporting Persons have not yet received physical certificates representing these securities.

As a result of the securities issuances and exchanges required under the Plan, the former holders of the $95 million principal amount of the Notes received on the Effective Date, in full satisfaction, settlement, release, discharge of and in exchange for such notes, approximately 10.6 million shares of New Common Stock, representing approximately 90% of the initial shares of New Common Stock of the reorganized Company. Consequently, a change in control occurred on the Effective Date, with control of the Company being transferred from the former holders of the Company's old common and preferred stock to the former holders of the Notes.

Each of the Reporting Persons may, depending upon market conditions and other factors, choose to acquire additional shares of New Common Stock of the Company or dispose of New Common Stock of the Company in the future through open market or privately negotiated transactions or effect other transactions which relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D. Moreover, Steven G. Singer intends to use his position as a director of the Company to maximize shareholder value, which may, in the future, result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D. However, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any such actions.

Steven Singer and Romulus disclaim beneficial ownership of all securities held by Castor.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

After the Effective Date of the Plan there were 11,827,142 shares of New Common Stock outstanding. As of October 1, 2002, Castor beneficially owns 2,159,436 shares of New Common Stock, as well as 8,230 of the Series 1 Warrants, and 8,230 of the Series 2 Warrants. Thus, Castor may be deemed to beneficially own 2,175,896 shares of New Common Stock, potentially 18.4% of the shares of New Common Stock that would be outstanding following the full exercise by Castor of its Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants. By virtue of their respective positions as Manager and 48.9% member of Castor, Steven G. Singer and Romulus may be deemed to share with Castor the power to vote and dispose of all securities directly held by Castor, including its New Common Stock. Nevertheless, Steven G. Singer and Romulus disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.

Castor is an authorized claimant in connection with a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entitled In re American Banknote Corporation Securities Litigation, No. 99 Civ. 0661 (CM) (S.D.N.Y.). The complaint alleged violations of the federal securities laws and sought to recover damages on behalf of all purchasers of old common stock of the Company during the period of May 2, 1996 through January 25, 1999. Pursuant to a settlement agreement, Castor will receive from the District Court Claims Administrator an as yet unspecified amount of New Common Stock, as well as unspecified amounts of Series 1 Warrants and Series 2 Warrants.

Castor further owns Equity Options to purchase 7,803 shares of New Common Stock at an Exercise Price of $2.50 per share (the "Equity Options"). Half of these Equity Options shall become exercisable at such time that the New Common Stock trades at an average price of at least $5.00 per share over 20 consecutive trading days. The remaining Equity Options shall become exercisable at such time that the New Common Stock trades at an average price of at least $7.50 per share over 20 consecutive trading days.

Pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated October 1, 2002, Steven G. Singer was granted 150,000 options to purchase shares of New Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (the "Management Stock Options"). The Management Stock Options were issued pursuant to the American Banknote Corporation 2002 Management Incentive Plan. The Management Stock Options vest up to one-third of the total number of covered shares on account of each of the 2002, 2003 and 2004 fiscal years of the Company, if and only if certain performance goals established by the Board of Directors of the Company on account of each such fiscal year is achieved.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 each of the directors officers, and control persons of the Reporting Persons set forth above (each, an "Individual") may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of New Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person for which such Individual is a director, officer, or control person. Each of the directors, officers, and control persons of the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of New Common Stock owned by such Reporting Person for which such Individual is a director, officer, or control person. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims that they are members of a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

During the past sixty days, there were no transactions in shares of the New Common Stock of the Company, or any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the New Common Stock of the Company, by the Reporting Persons or any person or entity controlled by them or any person or entity for which they possess voting or investment control over the securities thereof except as set forth above.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Except as set forth herein, no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships exist with respect to any securities of the Company as between any Reporting Person and any other person or entity.

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
