Each of the Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock to which this Statement relates in the ordinary course of business in order to obtain a significant equity position in the Issuer, the Common Stock of which, in the opinion of the Reporting Persons, has been undervalued.

The Reporting Persons review their investment in the Issuer and other companies on a continuing basis.  In particular, the Reporting Persons have been reviewing the Issuer’s recently filed periodic reports and financial statements covering the last two years, which filings had been delayed and unavailable in connection with the Issuer’s earnings restatement, and the Reporting Persons have been considering their investment in light of those reports.  After such review, Neil Weiner had preliminary discussions with the Issuer’s management and members of the Board of Directors regarding several issues facing the Issuer.  Mr. Weiner desires to continue to engage in discussions with management and members of the Board concerning the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer, as well as measures the Reporting Persons believe will improve shareholder value for the benefit of the Issuer’s stockholders.  Such measures include, without limitation, the exploration of strategic alternatives to maximize the value of the Issuer.  Mr. Weiner has also discussed with management and members of the Board the possibility of obtaining representation on the Board.

Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons, at any time and from time
 
 
 

 
 
to time, may review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the willingness of the Issuer’s management team and Board of Directors to meet with and consider the suggestions of the Reporting Persons, the Issuer’s financial position and business strategy, the price levels of the shares of Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets 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, continuing to seek Board representation; making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer; engaging in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, regarding, among other items, its business, operations, policies, management, structure, operations or capitalization; purchasing additional shares of Common Stock; selling some or all of their shares of Common Stock; and/or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
