Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Statement relates to the shares of Beneficial Interest (the "Share s")
of L.B. Foster Company. The address of Issuer's principal officers is 415
Holiday Drive, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15220.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This Amendment Statement is filed on behalf of all persons and entities and
participants of Resource Management, Inc., an entity incorporated under the laws
of the State of Ohio and commonly known as the Maxus Investment Group
(hereinafter "MIG"), Richard A. Barone, an individual (hereinafter "Mr.
Barone"), Maxus Asset Management Inc, an entity incorporated under the laws of
the State of Ohio (hereinafter "MAM"), and Maxus Securities Corp, an entity
incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio (hereinafter "MSC"). The
aforementioned person and entities are collectively referred to herein as the
"Filing Persons". The business address of the aforementioned person and entities
is 28601 Chagrin Boulevard - Suite 500, Cleveland, Ohio 44122.
The Filing Persons each disclaim membership in a Group as such term is
defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Rules
and Regulations promulgated thereunder. However, because of the relationships
between and among the Filing Persons described herein, they determined to make
this filing.
MAM is a registered investment advisor having the power to dispose of the
Shares owned by the investment clients for which it acts as advisor. MSC is a
broker-dealer. MIG is a financial services corporation which owns all of the
outstanding shares of MAM and MSC. Mr. Barone is the controlling shareholder of
MIG and is principally employed as Chairman and President of MIG, MAM and MSC
and as Chairman of Maxus Income Fund, Maxus Equity Fund and Maxus Laureate Fund,
all of which are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. See
Exhibit A attached to this amended Schedule 13D for additional information on
executive officers.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
MAM owns no Shares directly but may be deemed to beneficially own (within
the meaning of Rule 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 713,400
Shares purchased by MAM for the account of its investment clients. MAM disclaims
beneficial ownership of such Shares.
MSC owns no Shares directly but may be deemed to beneficially own (within
the meaning of Rule 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 35,000
Shares purchased by MSC for the account of its brokerage clients. MSC disclaims
beneficial ownership of such shares.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Filing Persons acquired Shares to establish investment positions in the
Issuer. Subject to market and business conditions and other factors, the Filing
Persons may intend to purchase additional Shares. However, depending upon such
factors, the Filing Persons may also maintain their present ownership of Shares
or sell some or all of the Shares.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Set forth below for the Filing Persons, in the aggregate, is the number
of Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned as of February 3, 1997,
and the percentage of the Shares outstanding represented by such ownership
(based on 9,937,738 Shares outstanding):
Name: No. of Shares Percent of Class
Maxus Asset Management, Inc(1) 713,400 7.18 %
Maxus Securities Corp(2) 35,000 0.35 %
Total(3) 748,400 7.53 %
These Shares are owned by investment clients of MAM and MAM may be deemed to
beneficially own these Shares by reason of its power to dispose of such Shares
under its Investment Management Agreement with such clients. MAM, however,
disclaims beneficial ownership of all such Shares. These Shares are owned by
brokerage clients of MSC. MSC may be deemed to beneficially own these Shares by
virtue of such relationship, although it has no contractual power to vote or
dispose of such Shares. MSC disclaims beneficial ownership of all such Shares.
Mr. Barone owns no Shares directly but, by virtue of his positions as
Chairman and President of MAM and MIG he may be deemed to beneficially own the
748,400 Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by MAM. Mr. Barone
disclaims beneficial ownership of all such Shares.
MIG owns no Shares directly and MIG may be deemed to beneficially own the
748,400 Shares which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by MAM. MIG,
however, disclaims beneficial ownership of all such Shares.
MAM and its investment clients share the power to dispose of the Shares
which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by MAM. By virtue of their
relationship to MAM, MIG and Mr. Barone may also be deemed to share such power.
None of the Filing Persons has any power to vote the Shares.
Exhibit B attached hereto sets forth the transactions in Shares effected by
the Filing Persons since original filing, the dates of such transactions and the
per Share purchase price. The Shares were traded on the NASDAQ.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understanding orRelationships with Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.
Except as set forth in this Statement, there are no contracts,
arrangements, understanding or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the
Filing Persons or between any of the Filing Persons and any other person, with
respect to any Shares.
