in accounts under management.


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 The Reporting Persons acquired their Shares for investment in the
ordinary course of business. However, the Reporting Persons believe that the
Shares at current market prices are undervalued. The Reporting Persons feel that
the Issuer's Board needs to form an independent Special Committee to more fully
explore strategic alternatives that maximize value. In the ordinary course of
their investment business, from time to time, representatives of the Reporting
Persons engage in discussions with the management of companies in which they
have invested concerning the business and operations of such companies and
potential approaches to maximizing shareholder value. The Reporting Persons
intend to continue to engage in such discussions with the Issuer and may do so
with other holders of the Issuer's Shares and/or third parties as well.


 The Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that 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 herein. The Reporting Persons intend
to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on
various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position
and strategic direction, price levels of the Shares, conditions in the
securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting
Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in
the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing
additional Shares or selling some or all of their Shares, hedging their
positions and/or otherwise changing their intentions with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4.


Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Company.

 (a) As of January 29, 2008, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned,
in the aggregate, approximately 5.1% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares. The
aggregate percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially owned by the
Reporting Persons is based upon 26,645,544 Shares outstanding, which is the
total number of Shares outstanding as of November 1, 2007, as reported in the
Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007.
