During the last five years, the Reporting Person, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, its executive officers and directors named on Schedule I hereto (i) have not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and (ii) have not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is 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.

The Reporting Person is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. All of the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Person are citizens of the United States except for Robert F. Marcovitch, who is a citizen of Canada.

Item 3—Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

On November 25, 2003, the Issuer, the Reporting Person and Boca Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person (“Acquisition Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and hereby incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to which the Reporting Person commenced an offer to exchange each outstanding share of Issuer Common Stock for 0.2757 of a share of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, including the associated preferred share purchase rights (“Reporting Person Common Stock”), of the Reporting Person (the “Offer”). The initial expiration of the Offer was at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, January 9, 2004. At approximately 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on Saturday, January 10, 2004, the Reporting Person accepted for purchase all shares of Issuer Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer. At the initial expiration of the Offer, 3,093,486 shares of Issuer Common Stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 84% of the outstanding Issuer Common Stock.

On Monday, January 12, 2004, the Reporting Person announced the commencement of a subsequent offering period to the Offer with an expiration date of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, January 16, 2004 (the “Subsequent Offer Period”). During the Subsequent Offer Period, the Reporting Person immediately accepted for purchase all shares of Issuer Common Stock validly tendered throughout the Subsequent Offer

Page 4 of 10 Pages

Period. At the expiration of the Subsequent Offer Period, an additional 113,299 shares of Issuer Common Stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 3% of the outstanding Issuer Common Stock. Cumulatively, 3,206,785 shares of the Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 87% of the outstanding Issuer Common Stock, were exchanged in the Offer for 884,111 shares of Reporting Person Common Stock.

On Monday, January 19, 2004, the Reporting Person notified the Issuer that it was exercising its option pursuant to the Merger Agreement to purchase the lowest number of shares of Issuer Common Stock directly from the Issuer that, when added to the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock already owned by the Reporting Person following consummation of the Offer, shall constitute at least 90% of the outstanding Issuer Common Stock. The Reporting Person will pay for the Issuer Common Stock issued pursuant to the option with Reporting Person Common Stock, at a purchase price of 0.2757 of a share of Reporting Person Common Stock per share of Issuer Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Person will cause Acquisition Sub to merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), pursuant to which the Issuer will survive as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Issuer Common Stock will automatically be converted into the right to receive 0.2757 of a share of Reporting Person Common Stock and, assuming no appraisal rights are exercised, approximately an additional 134,096 shares of Reporting Person Common Stock will be issued in the Merger.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and in connection with the Offer, each tendering stockholder of Issuer Common Stock that would otherwise receive a fractional share of Reporting Person Common Stock will instead receive cash, equal to the fractional share interest multiplied by the closing price of a share of the Reporting Person’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the first trading date after the Reporting Person accepted shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, or Monday, January 12, 2004. The closing price of a share Reporting Person Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday, January 12, 2004, was $15.84 per share. In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Issuer Common Stock will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.2757 of a share of Reporting Person Common Stock, and each stockholder of Issuer Common Stock that would otherwise receive a fractional share of Reporting Person Common Stock instead will receive cash, equal to the fractional share interest multiplied by the closing price of a share of Reporting Person Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on closing date of the Merger.

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4—Purpose of Transaction

The information contained in Item 3 is incorporated herein by this reference.

The Offer and the Merger are being undertaken by the Reporting Person in its acquisition of the Issuer.

In connection with the Merger, the officers of the Issuer shall be appointed pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.
