ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

 

Catalina acquired the Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes because it believed the Common Stock was undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.

 

Catalina expects to engage in discussions with management, the board, other stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties concerning the business, assets, strategy and future plans of the Issuer, which discussions may include proposing or considering sales of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries and other actions that are described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Furthermore, following discussions with management and the board, Catalina may propose a change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board.

 

Catalina intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.  Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s operations and financial position, prospects, capital structure, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, and prevailing economic, industry and market conditions, as well as alternative investment opportunities and other investment considerations, Catalina may take such actions with respect to its investments in the Issuer as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, purchasing, voting, trading, disposing or otherwise dealing in the Common Stock in such manner as it deems advisable to benefit from changes in market prices of the Common Stock, changes in the Issuer’s operations, business strategy or prospects, or from any sale or merger of the Issuer.

 

Catalina reserves the right to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer, including reconsidering or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

 

a)                                       Catalina beneficially owns in aggregate 548,390 shares of Common Stock, which represent 5.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.  The beneficial ownership was calculated based on 9,879,513 shares outstanding as of November 1, 2012, as reported in the Form 10-Q which was filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 1, 2012.

 

b)                                       Catalina has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition, of all such 548,390 shares of Common Stock.
