Item 4.  Purposes of the Transaction.
- -------------------------------------

         Item 4 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

                  The Reporting Persons have acquired the Preferred Stock shares
indicated  with the view toward and  expectation  of realizing a profit upon the
investment because, in their opinion, such shares are undervalued by the market.
They intend to closely monitor the developments of the Company, especially those
developments  pertaining  to the  proposal set forth in the  Company's  Proxy to
issue  Common  Stock to the  holders  of  Preferred  Stock  shares at a ratio of
1:1.75.

                  The Reporting Persons have initiated contacts, held telephonic
discussions  and  exchanged  correspondence  with  various  members of Company's
management,  the Company's financial advisors,  the bondholders'  advisors and a
major shareholder of the Company concerning the proposed financial restructuring
of the Company and the possible adverse effects of such  restructuring  upon the
interests of the holders of Preferred Stock given their existing rights relative
to the rights of  holders  of the  Common  Stock.  The  Reporting  Persons  have
likewise engaged legal counsel to review the ramifications of the share exchange
proposed in the Proxy.  Given the  unfairness  of the  proposed  exchange to the
holders of the  Preferred  shares in the opinion of the Reporting  Persons,  the
Reporting  Persons may direct their legal  counsel to institute  any  litigation
which may be prudent to protect the interests of the Reporting Persons and other
holders of Preferred shares who share their opinions.

                  The  Reporting  Persons will  continue to closely  monitor the
affairs of the Company.  The Reporting  Persons may communicate  with members of
management,  their  advisors,  other  shareholders,  their  advisors  and  other
interested parties with a view toward preserving  existing rights and privileges
granted to holders of Preferred Stock and toward maximizing the realizable value
of their  investment.  Depending  upon  future  developments,  the  plans of the
Reporting Persons may change.

                  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  in the  preceding
paragraphs  of this  section,  the  Reporting  Persons  may,  from  time to time
hereafter,  either  acquire  or  dispose  of shares of the  Company  in the open
market,  in  privately  negotiated  transactions,   or  otherwise,   subject  to
applicable  securities  laws,  as,  if and when such  acquisitions  or sales are
determined  by the  Reporting  Persons,  or any of  them,  to be in  their  best
interests.
