Item 4: Purpose of Transaction

          (a) The stock that is the subject of this Schedule 13D was acquired by

              additional shares of stock or dispose of some or all of the stock
              from time to time.

          (b) - (c) The Filing Persons believe management should take steps to
              realize shareholder value through the sale of the Issuer. Mr.
              Harvey plans to discuss this alternative with management and any
              impediments thereto.

          (d) - (j) At present, and except as disclosed herein, the Filing
              Persons have no specific plans or proposals that relate to, or
              could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs
              (a)through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Filing
              Persons intend to continue to explore the options available to

              review or reconsider their position with respect to the Issuer and

              2000 filed by the Issuer dated May 10, 2000, as of May 9, 2000 the
              Issuer  had  863,962 shares of stock  issued  and  outstanding.

              Partnership purchases identified in Exhibit B, and the power to
              dispose or to direct the disposition of the stock. Because  Mr.
              Harvey is the controlling person of the General Partner, he may be
              deemed to have the indirect power to vote or direct the vote and
              to dispose or direct the disposition of the stock that is the
              subject of this Schedule 13D. Each of Mr. Harvey and the General

              Issuer.

              Partner has the right to receive or the power to direct the
              receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of the
              stock that is the subject of this Schedule 13D.

        Securities of the Issuer

        relationship (legal or otherwise) between or among themselves and any
