Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.

         The Reporting Persons originally acquired Shares for investment in the
ordinary course of business. The Reporting Persons believe that the Shares at
current market prices are undervalued and represent an attractive investment
opportunity.

         In the ordinary course of their investment business, from time to time,
representatives of the Reporting Persons engage in discussions with the
management of companies in which they have invested concerning the business and
operations of the company and potential approaches to maximizing shareholder
value. The Reporting Persons intend to engage in such discussions with the
Issuer, other holders of the Issuer's Shares and/or third parties.

         The Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would
relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a)-(j) of
Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon
completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend
to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on
various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position
and strategic direction, price levels of the Shares, conditions in the
securities market and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting
Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in
the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, purchasing
additional Shares or selling some or all of their Shares, converting the
Convertible Securities to Shares, hedging their positions and/or otherwise
changing their intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in
Item 4.

Item 5.     Interest in Securities of the Company.

         (a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially
owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 24,189,043 Shares outstanding,
which is the total number of Shares outstanding as of October 31, 2005, as
reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005.

         As of the close of business on December 1, 2005, the Reporting Persons
may be deemed to beneficially own 2,528,607 Shares (including Convertible
Securities convertible to 528,607 Shares), constituting approximately 10.2% of
the Shares outstanding.
