This Schedule 13D is being filed by (i) Eric Samson, a citizen of South Africa, (ii) The Second Dave Samson Trust, a trust organized under the laws of South Africa (the “Trust”), and (iii) The Eric Samson Foundation, a trust organized under the laws of South Africa (the “Foundation”). The principal business address and the address of the principal office of each of the Trust and the Foundation is P.O. Box 7729, Johannesburg 2000, South Africa.

To the best of the Registrants’ knowledge, except for Mr. Samson, who beneficially owns Shares as disclosed herein, and Mr. Gerber, who may be deemed to beneficially own 33,200 Shares held by a trust of which Mr. Gerber is a beneficiary, none of the Trust Trustees or Foundation Trustees own any Shares.

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

The Shares to which this statement relates were purchased by Mr. Samson, the Trust and the Foundation with personal funds of Mr. Samson, Trust funds and Foundation funds, respectively.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Registrants purchased the Shares to which this statement relates to acquire equity in the Issuer at what they believed were attractive prices. Affiliates of certain of the Registrants have participated and continue to participate in business transactions with the Issuer and from time to time have discussed with the Issuer the steel industry generally and other matters of common interest. Depending on price, availability, market conditions and other factors that may affect their investment judgment, Registrants may acquire additional Shares or dispose of any or all of their Shares in the open market or otherwise. Registrants also may propose or consider proposing or entering into one or more transactions with the Issuer, including a mutually agreed business combination. Registrants reserve the right to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities and to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by Registrants.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) As of the close of the business day on February 19, 2004, Registrants may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 1,289,200 Shares, representing approximately 5.19% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (based upon the 24,828,641 Shares stated to be outstanding as of November 12, 2003 by the Issuer in Amendment No. 1 to the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filing relating to the period ended September 30, 2003, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2004). Of these 1,289,200 Shares, Mr. Samson, the Trust and the Foundation beneficially own 73,770, 591,100 and 624,330 Shares, respectively, which represent approximately 0.30%, 2.38% and 2.51% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares, respectively (based on 24,828,641 Shares outstanding). As described in Item 5(b), Mr. Samson may be deemed for certain purposes to beneficially own all 1,289,200 Shares owned by the Registrants.

(b) Mr. Samson has sole voting and dispositive power with regard to 73,770 Shares and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to an additional 1,215,430 Shares. Each of the Trust and Foundation has sole voting and dispositive power with regard to 591,100 and 624,330 Shares, respectively.

Mr. Samson, by virtue of his relationship to the Trust and Foundation (as disclosed in Item 2), may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the Shares which the Trust and Foundation directly beneficially own. Mr. Samson disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.

(c) The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to Shares effected during the past sixty (60) days by any of the Registrants. All such transactions were effected in the open market, and the table includes commissions paid.
