ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

opportunity for capital appreciation.

         Steel,  Steel  Services  and their  executive  officers,  based upon an
evaluation  of the  Issuer's  operations  and future  plans,  as well as its own
financial  status  and  general  economic  and market  conditions,  may also (a)
acquire  additional  shares of Common  Stock in the open  market,  in  privately
negotiated  transactions  or  otherwise,  (b) seek to assist  management  of the
Issuer in formulating and  implementing  future policy,  (c) seek control of the
Issuer through a negotiated  transaction or otherwise,  (d) consider  asking the
Issuer  to have one or more of its  representatives  appointed  to the  Board of
Directors of the Issuer, (e) consider engaging in the solicitation of proxies to
elect its  nominees to the Board of  Directors  of the Issuer,  or (f) to take a
combination  of any  actions  described  above  or  below.  Executives  of Steel
occasionally  communicate  with management of the Issuer  regarding the Issuer's
business.

         Except as stated  herein,  Steel,  Steel  Services and their  executive
officers do not presently  have any other  proposals or plans which would result
in any event listed in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, however,
in the future,  based upon an evaluation of the Issuer's  operations  and future
