Item 2. Identity and Background

(a), (b), (c) and (f)

This Schedule 13D/A is filed by NNS Holding, Mr. Nassef Sawiris and Mr. Philip Norman.

NNS Holding is an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Its registered address is c/o M&C Corporate Services, PO Box 309GT, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Its principal business is holding diversified industrial and financial investments, and in connection with this NNS Holding is, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, a principal shareholder of Orascom Construction Industries Company. The entire share capital of NNS Holding is held by the NNS Jersey Trust, whose beneficiaries are principally Mr. Nassef Sawiris and his descendants.

Mr. Nassef Sawiris is a director of NNS Holding and the settlor of the NNS Jersey Trust. As a director of NNS Holding, he is charged with exploring investment opportunities appropriate for NNS Holding based on his investment expertise. In addition to a number of other directorships, Mr. Nassef Sawiris is Chief Executive Officer of Orascom Construction Industries Company, a cement producer and construction contractor whose business address is Nile City South Tower, 2005A Corniche El Nil, Cairo, Egypt 11221. Mr. Sawiris is a citizen of Egypt.

Mr. Philip Norman is a director of NNS Holding. Mr. Norman is a partner of the Ogier Group, a provider of legal and fiduciary services whose business address is Whiteley Chambers, Don Street, St Helier, Jersey, JE3 5HN, Channel Islands. Mr. Norman is a British citizen.

By virtue of their directorships of NNS Holding, Mr. Nassef Sawiris and Mr. Philip Norman have the power to vote and dispose of the shares held by NNS Holding. Mr. Sawiris, along with his descendants, are the principal beneficiaries of the trust which owns the shares of NNS Holding. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons are hereby filing a joint Schedule 13D/A.

(d) and (e)

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons was convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) or was 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.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Funds for the purchase of the shares were derived from available capital of NNS Holding. A total of $267,201,422 (exclusive of brokers’ commissions and other administrative costs) was paid to purchase the shares, and a total of $5,399,334 was paid to purchase the options relating to the shares, as set out further in Annex A.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

NNS Holding purchased the shares as part of its global investment portfolio and believes them to represent a sound strategic addition. However, Mr. Sawiris has had communications with the Issuer and it is anticipated that Mr. Sawiris may, from time to time, have discussions with management, the board of directors and other shareholders of the Issuer.

Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of shares of the Issuer’s common stock at prices that would make the purchase of additional shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of shares of the Issuer’s common stock or options on such shares on the open market or in private transactions, through a tender offer or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

The Reporting Persons intend to actively monitor efforts by management to increase stockholder value. The Reporting Persons may also decide in the future to propose a transaction whereby all or a portion of the Issuer be sold, and in connection therewith the Reporting Persons may seek to participate in such transaction or seek to acquire control of the Issuer in a negotiated transaction or otherwise. If the Reporting Persons should acquire control of the Issuer, they may transfer all or part of their holdings to affiliated or unaffiliated persons. The Reporting Persons also may seek in the future to have one or more representatives elected to the board of directors of the Issuer or to propose other matters for consideration and approval by the Issuer’s stockholders or board of directors.

None of the Reporting Persons currently has other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the consequences listed in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Special Instructions for Complying with Schedule 13D/A except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of the actions discussed above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The aggregate percentage of shares reported owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 27,341,087 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2007, which is the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. As of the close of business on July 18, 2007, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 4,073,939 shares, constituting 14.90% of the class outstanding.

(b) By virtue of their positions as directors of NNS Holding, Mr. Nassef Sawiris and Mr. Philip Norman have power to vote or direct the voting, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, all of the shares.

(c) Schedule A annexed hereto lists all transactions in the Issuer’s common stock by the Reporting Persons in the period beginning sixty days prior to October 19, 2006 (the date of filing of the original Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons). Other than the block trades effected on July 12, 13, 17 and 18, 2007, as disclosed in Schedule A, all transactions were effected in the open market or upon exercise of options.

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares.

(e) Not applicable.

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

Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements or understandings among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the shares.
