         Steel Partners II received  3,988,832 Shares as a stockholder of Walter
Industries,  Inc. ("Walter") in connection with the spin-off (the "Spin-Off") of
the  Issuer  by  Walter.  An  aggregate  of  $55,212,658,   including  brokerage
commissions,  was effectively paid by Steel Partners II to acquire the shares of
common stock of Walter



----------------------                                    ----------------------
CUSIP No. 624758207                   13D                    Page 6 of 14 Pages
----------------------                                    ----------------------


attributable in value to the Shares spun-off by Walter to Steel Partners II (the
"Walter Shares"). The Walter Shares were acquired with partnership funds.

         After the Spin-Off, Steel Partners II purchased an additional 2,246,200
Shares for an  aggregate  purchase  price of  $33,123,710,  including  brokerage
commissions. These Shares were acquired with partnership funds.

Item 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         After the Spin-Off,  the Reporting Persons purchased  additional Shares
in the open market based on the Reporting Persons' belief that such Shares, when
purchased,   were   undervalued   and   represented  an  attractive   investment
opportunity.   Depending  upon  overall  market  conditions,   other  investment
opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares
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 on the open market or in private
transactions  or  otherwise,  on such terms and at such  times as the  Reporting
Persons may deem advisable.

         No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate
to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs  (a) - (j) of Item
4 of  Schedule  13D  except as set  forth  herein  or such as would  occur  upon
completion of any of the actions  discussed above.  Steel Partners II intends to
review  its  investment  in the  Issuer  on a  continuing  basis  and  engage in
discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer  concerning
the business,  operations  and future plans of the Issuer.  Depending on various
factors  including,  without  limitation,  the Issuer's  financial  position and
investment  strategy,  the  price  levels  of  the  Shares,  conditions  in  the
securities markets and general economic and industry conditions,  Steel Partners
II may in the future take such  actions with  respect to its  investment  in the
Issuer as it deems  appropriate  including,  without  limitation,  seeking Board
representation,  making  proposals  to  the  Issuer  concerning  changes  to the
capitalization,  ownership  structure or  operations  of the Issuer,  purchasing
additional Shares, selling some or all of its Shares,  engaging in short selling
of or any hedging or similar  transaction with respect to the Shares or changing
its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.

Item 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a) The aggregate  percentage of Shares  reported  owned by each person
named herein is based upon  85,844,920  Shares  outstanding,  which is the total
number of Shares  outstanding as reported in the Issuer's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended  September 30, 2006, as filed with the Securities

         As of the close of business on December  27,  2006,  Steel  Partners II

Partners II, constituting  approximately 7.3% of the Shares outstanding.  As the
sole executive officer and managing member of Partners LLC, which in turn is the
general  partner  of Steel  Partners  II,  Mr.  Lichtenstein  may be  deemed  to

and  dispositive  power with  respect  to the  6,235,032  Shares  owned by Steel
Partners II by virtue of his authority to vote and dispose of such Shares.

         (b) By virtue of his positions with Partners LLC and Steel Partners II,
Mr.  Lichtenstein  has the sole power to vote and dispose of the Shares reported
in this Schedule 13D.

         (c)  Schedule A annexed  hereto  lists all  transactions  in the Shares
during the past sixty days by the Reporting  Persons.  All of such  transactions
were effected in the open market, unless otherwise indicated.

right to  receive,  or the power to direct the  receipt of  dividends  from,  or
