CUSIP NO. 73179110 13G Item 1(a) Name of Issuer: Polyphase Corporation (the "Issuer") Item 1(b) Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices: 4800 Broadway, Suite A, Dallas, Texas 75248 Item 2(a) Name of Person Filing: Infinity Investors Limited (the "Reporting Person") Item 2(b) Address of Principal Business Office or, if none, Residence: 38 Hertford Street, London, England W1Y 7TG Item 2(c) Citizenship: Nevis, West Indies Item 2(d) Title of Class of Securities: Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock") of the Issuer. Item 2(e) CUSIP Number: 73179110 Item 3. This statement is filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c). Item 4. Ownership: (a) Amount Beneficially Owned: 2,176,529; 1,666,666 of this amount represents 125,000 shares of Series A-3 Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") convertible at the option of the Reporting Person into that number of whole shares of Common Stock that is calculable by multiplying the number of shares of Preferred Stock being converted by 10 and dividing such number by the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the day immediately preceding the date that written notice of conversion is given to the Issuer (the "Valuation Formula"). The remaining 509,863 shares represent accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Preferred Stock held by the Reporting Person totaling $382,397.28 through March 31, 1998 and continuing to accrue at the rate of 12% per annum. The Issuer has agreed to pay such dividends on its Common Stock based on the same Valuation Formula as applicable to the Preferred Stock. Therefore, assuming that the Reporting Person converted all of its shares of Preferred Stock on the date of this Statement, then, the Reporting Person would beneficially own the number of shares of Common Stock herein set forth. Specifically, the Reporting Person would receive 1,666,666 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and 509,863 shares of Common Stock as a dividend thereon through and including the date of this Statement. The number of shares of Common Stock described as beneficially owned in this paragraph is included for disclosure purposes only. The exact number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired by the Reporting Person, if any, upon conversion of the Preferred Stock cannot be determined until conversion thereof. The Reporting Person does not intend to file amendments to this Statement solely to reflect changes in beneficial ownership based on fluctuations in the market value of the Common Stock. (b) Percent of Class: 13.1% (c) Number of Shares as to which such person has: (i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 2,176,529 (ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 0 (iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 2,176,529 (iv) shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 0 Beginning November 8, 1997 the Reporting Person was entitled to convert its Preferred Stock of the Issuer into that number of whole shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as set forth in response to Item 4(a) above. However, as of the date of this Statement, the Issuer has refused to convert such Preferred Stock. Therefore, until the Issuer honors the conversion of the Preferred Stock, the Reporting Person cannot acquire the securities mandating this filing. Item 5. Ownership of 5% or less of a Class: Not Applicable. Item 6. Ownership of More than 5% on Behalf of Another Person: Not Applicable. CUSIP NO. 73179110 13G Item 7. Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company: Not Applicable. Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group: Not Applicable. Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group: Not Applicable. Item 10. Certifications: By signing below, I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were acquired in the ordinary course of business and were not acquired for the purpose of and do not have the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer of such securities and were not acquired in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect.
