The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") to the
Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned. This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule

The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting
Persons' belief that the Shares at current market prices are undervalued and
represent an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market
conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons,
and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase of
additional Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase
their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of Shares

such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and engage in
discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer concerning
the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various
factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and
investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the
securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Steel Partners
II may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the
Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, seeking Board
representation, making proposals to the Issuer concerning the capitalization and
operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of
its Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction
with respect to the Shares or changing its intention with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4.

beneficially owned 661,700 Shares, constituting approximately 8.8% of the Shares
outstanding. As the general partner of Steel Partners II, Partners LLC may be

constituting approximately 8.8% of the Shares outstanding. As the sole executive
officer and managing member of Partners LLC, which in turn is the general
