ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The Ebrahimi family used private funds to make the purchases of securities
covered by this filing.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The securities purchased by the Ebrahimi family have been acquired for
investment purposes. Members of the Ebrahimi family may make additional
purchases of common stock or other securities of the Issuer, either in the open
market or in private transactions, depending on their evaluation of the Issuer's
business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the common stock or
other securities, other opportunities available to them, general economic
conditions, money and stock market conditions, and other future developments.
Depending on these same factors, members of the Ebrahimi family may decide to
sell all or part of their investment in the Issuer's common stock. Although all
purchases of shares of common stock have been made for investment, at some
future time the Ebrahimi family may decide that it is desirable to seek control
or influence the management and policies of the Issuer. Such control or
influence may be sought by seeking a position on the Issuer's board of
directors, by seeking a position as an officer of the Issuer, by contractual
arrangement with the Issuer or by other means. At the present time, no member
of the Ebrahimi family has made any decision to seek a board seat or seek
control or influence over the management or policies of the Issuer.

(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation involving the Issuer or its subsidiaries;
(c) sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries;
(d) except as described above, any change in the present board of directors or
management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the
number or term of directors or fill any existing vacancies on the board;
(e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the
Issuer;
(f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure;
(g) any changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the
Issuer by any person;
(h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national
securities exchange or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-
dealer quotation system of a registered national security association;
(i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange
Act; or
