beneficial owners of all shares of Common Stock held by Prescott Group Funds. The Reporting
Persons (as hereinafter defined) are filing this Statement jointly, as they may be considered a

contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that such a group

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds
As of September 17, 2007, Prescott Group Funds had invested $5,547,713 (inclusive of brokerage
commissions) in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The source of these funds was the working
capital of Prescott Group Funds.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Prescott Group Funds (together with Phil Frohlich the Reporting Persons) purchased the
Common Stock based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and
represented an attractive investment opportunity. Although Reporting Person has no specific plan
or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with its investment purpose,
Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose
of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the
Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements
of the Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations.
The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of
the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of
acquiring control of the Issuer.
Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Person may engage in
communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer
and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more
representatives or regulators of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its
operations. The Reporting Person may discuss ideas that, if effected may result in any of the
following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary
corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of directors or management
of the Issuer.

plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in
paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The

Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the 2,641,276 shares of Common Stock owned
