This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by each of Midland Fabricators and Process
Systems, L.L.C., a Louisiana limited liability company ("Midland"), William A.
Hines and Jeanne M. Hines McDaniel and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D
filed by such entity and persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 23, 2004. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does
not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 1.     SECURITY AND ISSUER

      There are no material changes to the information previously reported in
Item 1 of the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 2.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

      There are no material changes to the information previously reported in
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

      Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the
following disclosure:

      Under the terms of the $10,651,564 convertible debenture, Midland must
give the Company written notice no less than thirty and no more than forty-five
days prior to the date of conversion. On August 30, 2004, Midland notified the
Company that it will convert $2,698,500 of the convertible debenture into
771,000 shares of the Company's common stock on September 30, 2004. The
debenture is convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at $3.50 per
share (the closing price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market on March 6, 2002, the date the Company concluded negotiations on the
terms of the convertible debenture, which price has been adjusted to reflect the
one for ten reverse split effected by the Company on August 1, 2003). There will
be no new funds expended in connection with the conversion.

ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

      There are no material changes to the information previously reported in
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the
disclosures in Items 5(a) and (c) as follows:

      (a) Midland, Mr. Hines and Ms. Hines McDaniel are the beneficial owners of
approximately 92.1% of the Company's common stock. The calculation of this
percentage is based on 8,226,913 shares of common stock outstanding as of August
8, 2004, as reported in the Company's Form 10-Q filed on August 16, 2004.

      Upon the conversion of $2,698,500 of the convertible debenture into
771,000 shares of the Company's common stock, Midland will own a total of
8,107,100 shares of common stock (or approximately 90.1% of the total shares of
common stock outstanding, based on 8,226,913 shares of common stock outstanding
as of August 8, 2004).

      (c) None of Midland, Mr. Hines or Ms. Hines McDaniel has effected any
transaction in the common stock of the Company in the 60 days prior to the date
of the event requiring the filing of this Amendment No. 1 set forth on the cover
page hereto.

                                   Page 5 of 6



ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
            RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

      Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the
following disclosure:

      At June 30, 2004, $7.8 million was outstanding and owed to Midland related
to the informal arrangement with the Company, whereby Midland has agreed from
time to time to provide financial support and funding for working capital or
other needs at Midland's discretion.

ITEM 7.     MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

      There are no changes to the exhibit list previously reported in Item 7 of
the Schedule 13D.
