Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

        On February 10, 2004, Allied entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among Allied, AMOT, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allied ("Merger Sub"), and Owosso. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to certain conditions, Owosso will be merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allied (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Owosso Common Stock will be automatically converted into the right to receive 0.068 shares (the "Exchange Ratio") of common stock, no par value per share, of Allied ("Allied Common Stock") (such fraction of a share, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares to be paid, collectively are referred to as the "Common Stock Merger Consideration"). Each issued and outstanding share of Owosso class A convertible preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Owosso Preferred Stock"), will be automatically converted into the right to receive: (A) cash in the amount of $.9333 per share; (B) 0.127 shares (the "Preferred Exchange Ratio") of Allied Common Stock; and (C) a warrant to purchase 0.28 shares of Allied Common Stock (the "Preferred Merger Consideration" and, together with the Common Stock Merger Consideration and the Additional Preferred Merger Consideration, the "Merger Consideration")

        Allied entered into the Voting Agreements in connection with the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of the Shareholders has agreed to be present and vote, and has granted to Richard Smith and Richard Warzala, as officers of Allied, an irrevocable proxy to vote all of the Owosso Common Stock and Owosso Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Shareholder, together with any shares of Owosso Common Stock and Owosso Preferred Stock acquired after the date of the Voting Agreements, whether upon the exercise of options, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise (collectively, the "Voting Shares") at any meeting of the shareholders of Owosso, however called, or any adjournment or postponement thereof: (a) in favor of the Merger; (b) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Owosso under the Merger Agreement; and (c) against any action or agreement (other than the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby) that would impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or attempt to discourage the Merger.

        In addition to the other covenants and agreements of the Shareholders provided for in the respective Voting Agreements, from the date of execution of the respective Voting Agreement until the first to occur of the Effective Time or the termination of the respective Voting Agreement, each of the Shareholders has agreed, generally, not to (i) transfer, or consent to any transfer of, any or all of the Shares or any interest therein; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement or understanding with respect to any transfer of any or all of the Shares or any interest therein; (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization in or with respect to the Shares; (iv) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares; or (v) take any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of his obligations under the respective Voting Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the respective Voting Agreement or the Merger Agreement or which would make any representation or warranty of Shareholder in the Voting Agreement untrue or incorrect.

        The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety.

        The purpose of the Merger is for Allied to acquire control of Owosso. Upon consummation of the Merger, Owosso will be merged with Merger Sub and will become a controlled subsidiary of Allied, the shares of Owosso Common Stock will cease to be freely traded or listed, Owosso Common Stock will be de-registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

        Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.

        The information contained in Item 3 and Item 4 and Rows (11) through (13) of the cover pages of this Statement on Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

        (a)-(b) Prior to February 10, 2004, none of the Reporting Persons were the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of any shares of Owosso Common Stock. Upon execution of the Voting Agreements, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have acquired sole or shared voting power (for the sole purposes described in the Voting Agreements) with respect to, and to that extent only, beneficial ownership of, shares of Owosso Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Shareholders. Based on representations made by the Shareholders in their respective Voting Agreements, the Shareholders subject to the Voting Agreements beneficially own, and therefore the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, 3,690,798 shares of Owosso Common Stock constituting approximately 63.4% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Owosso Common Stock (based on 5,824,306 shares, the number of shares outstanding, as represented by Owosso in the Merger Agreement). The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Owosso Common Stock.

        Except as disclosed in this Item 5, the Reporting Person nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the directors or executive officers of Allied, beneficially owns any shares of Owosso Common Stock.

        (c)   Neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of Allied, any person named in Annex A, has effected any transaction in Owosso Common Stock during the past 60 days.

        (d)   To the Reporting Persons' knowledge, each Shareholder has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Owosso Common Stock owned by such Shareholder and reported by this statement.

        (e)   Not applicable.

        References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements as set forth above in this Item 5 are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and are hereby incorporated herein in their entirety.


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

        Other than as described in Items 3, 4 and 5 and the agreements incorporated herein by reference and set forth as exhibits hereto, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of Owosso, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
