     (d)     None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years,
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors).

     (e)    None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years,
been
a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent
jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was, or is subject to, a
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.

     (f)    TFP is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State
of Delaware.  TM and TOA are limited liability companies organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware.  Mr. Gendell is a United States citizen.

Item 3.     Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.

     The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of the shares of
Common Stock directly owned by TFP and TFPO is approximately $1,603,494 and

shares of Common Stock.

       The shares of Common Stock purchased by TFP and TFPO were purchased
with
working capital and on margin.  TFP's and TFPO's margin transactions are with
ING Barings Furman Selz LLC, on such firm's usual terms and conditions.  All
or
part of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by TFP or TFPO may from time
to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as
collateral for loans made by such bank(s) or brokerage firm(s) to TFP or TFPO,
as the case may be.  Such loans bear interest at a rate based upon the
broker's
call rate from time to time in effect.  Such indebtedness may be refinanced
with other banks or broker-dealers.

Item 4.     Purpose of the Transaction.

     The purpose of the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock by the
Reporting Persons is for investment, and the purchases of the shares of Common
Stock by the Reporting Persons were made in the ordinary course of business
and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Company.
Although the acquisition of the shares of Common Stock by the Reporting
Persons is for investment purposes, the Reporting Persons may pursue
discussions with management in an effort to maximize long-term value for
shareholders.  The Reporting Persons may, at some point in the future, seek
representation on the Company's Board of Directors, although there are no
current plans to do so.  Each of the Reporting Persons may make further
purchases of shares of Common Stock from time to time and may dispose of any
