-------------------------------------------------
Not applicable.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
----------------------
The Reporting Persons have acquired the shares of Common Stock for
investment purposes and may acquire additional shares, or dispose of some or all
of the shares of Common Stock, from time to time, depending upon price and
market conditions, evaluation of alternative investments and other factors. The
Reporting Persons intend to review on a continuing basis their investment in the
Common Stock, the Issuer's business affairs and financial condition, as well as
conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry
conditions.
None of the Reporting Persons has any plan or proposal which relates to or
which would result in:
(a) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer;
(b) The sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer;
(c) Any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the
Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or terms
of Directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board;
(d) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
of the Issuer;
(e) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate
structure;
(f) Changes in the Issuer's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other

(i) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of Issuer.
--------------------------------
(a) The calculations in this Item are based upon 43,553,876 shares of
Common Stock issued and outstanding as of July 29, 2005 (based on
disclosures made by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. As of the date hereof, the
Reporting Persons beneficially owned 4,001,500 shares or 9.2% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The foregoing
calculation is made pursuant to Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Act.
(b) SJSI has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 4,001,500 shares
and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of 4,001,500
shares. Because John M. Gregory controls all of the voting interests
of SJSI with respect to the securities, he may be deemed to have the
sole power to vote and direct the vote of 4,001,500 shares and the
sole power to dispose and direct the disposition of 4,001,500 shares.
Neither Joan P. Gregory, Susan Gregory nor James M. Gregory presently
have the power to dispose, direct the disposition, vote or direct the
vote of shares of Common Stock held by SJSI. However, they may be
deemed to indirectly beneficially own shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer held by SJSI due to their financial interests in SJSI.
