None of the Reporting Persons nor any of their executive officers, directors
or trustees has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal
proceeding.
None of the Reporting Persons nor any of their executive officers, directors
or trustees has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as
a result of which he or it was or is subject to any judgment, decree or
final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any
violation with respect to such laws.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
On February 7, 2000, the Asset Allocation Fund and the Market Neutral Fund
exercised their respective options to convert Secured Convertible Notes in
the principal amount of $4,500,000 and $1,500,000, respectively, plus
accrued interest, into Stock of the Issuer at a price of $3.00 per share. As
a result of the conversion, the Asset Allocation Fund and the Market Neutral
Fund received 1,583,609 and 527,869 shares of Stock, respectively. The
primary purpose for the acquisition of shares of Stock by the Reporting
Persons is for investment. The Reporting Persons may consult with other
shareholders of the Issuer, other members of management of the Issuer or
other persons about the Issuer and its business from time to time. The
Reporting Persons presently plan to dispose of the Stock from time to time
in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.
In connection with a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"), dated May 25, 1995, as amended by a Note and Warrant Exchange
Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement"), dated March 23, 1998, and further
amended on June 30, 1999, among the Issuer, the Trust (on behalf of Market
Neutral Fund) and the Asset Allocation Fund, the Issuer agreed to appoint to
its Board of Directors two individuals designated by the Trust and Asset
Allocation Fund and to nominate such individuals for re-election to the
Board of Directors at each annual meeting of shareholders of the Issuer
until the Issuer fulfills its payment obligations under the Replacement
Notes. As a result of the conversion by the Trust and Asset Allocation of
the Replacement Notes into Stock of the Issuer, the Trust and Asset
Allocation no longer have a right to designate individuals to serve on the
Issuer's Board of Directors.
<PAGE>
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) Asset Allocation Fund beneficially owns 2,208,609 shares of Stock
(approximately 15.4% of the outstanding shares of Stock). Of these
2,208,609 shares of Stock, Asset Allocation Fund beneficially owns 1,583,609
shares of Stock as a result of its exercise of an option to convert
$4,500,000 principal amount of convertible Replacement Notes held by Asset
Allocation Fund that were acquired pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and it
beneficially owns 625,000 shares of Stock as a result of Warrants issued to
it pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Market Neutral Fund beneficially owns
902,869 shares of Stock (approximately 6.3% of the outstanding shares of
Stock). Of these 902,869 shares of Stock, Market Neutral Fund beneficially
owns 527,869 shares of Stock as a result of its exercise of an option to
convert $1,500,000 principal amount of convertible Replacement Notes held by
Market Neutral Fund that were acquired pursuant to the Exchange Agreement
and beneficially owns 375,000 shares of Stock as a result of Warrants issued
to it pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. Lindner Asset, in its capacity as
investment adviser to Asset Allocation Fund and Market Neutral Fund, may be
deemed beneficial owner of all such shares.
(b) Lindner Asset has sole dispositive power and sole voting power with
respect to the shares owned by Asset Allocation Fund and Market Neutral
Fund.
