ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Reporting Persons have acquired the Common Stock described herein
in order to obtain an equity position in the Company. GK and AR have expressed
their opinion to management of the Company that it should commence a Dutch
Auction to purchase up to one million of its own shares as a means to address
the Company's overcapitalized balance sheet. The Reporting Persons intend to
closely monitor the performance of the Company and its management, and to
evaluate their position in order to determine the advisability of further action
with respect to the Company.
The Reporting Persons do not presently intend to seek control of the
Company, nor do they presently intend to (i) make a proposal to the Company for
a merger or business combination; (ii) nominate individuals selected by the
Reporting Persons as candidates for the Board of Directors of the Company and
solicit proxies from the Company's shareholders to vote for such nominees or
otherwise take action to reconstitute the Board of Directors; (iii) acquire
additional shares of Common stock; or (iv) enter into arrangements with third
parties who may be interested in joining with the Reporting Persons to acquire
control of the Company, which arrangements may contemplate the sale or
disposition of portions of the Company's assets to such third parties after
control is obtained.
The Reporting Persons may attempt to dispose of the Common Stock in the
open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Depending upon the course of action that the Reporting Persons pursue,
the possible activities of the Reporting Persons are subject to change at any
time and there is no assurance that the Reporting Persons will purchase
additional Common Stock or change its present intent not to seek to influence or
obtain control of the Company. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons
have no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of
the transactions described in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
