Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION:
The Reporting Parties acquired these shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as
an investment in the Issuer. Although the Reporting Parties have not
formulated any definitive plans, they may from time to time acquire, or
dispose of, Common Stock and/or other securities of the Issuer if and when
they deem it appropriate. The Reporting Parties may formulate other purposes,
plans or proposals relating to any securities of the Issuer, or the Issuer's
directors and management to the extent deemed advisable in light of
developments in the affairs of the Issuer, market prices of the Issuer's
securities, market conditions and other factors. Mr. Blake is discussing with
management certain aspects of the Issuer's business including possible cost
cutting measures and has had non-confrontational discussions about possible
changes in the membership of the Board of Directors.
Except as indicated in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Parties currently have
no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters
described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
