Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, dated as of November 4, 2005 with CHC (the Exchange Agreement). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Exchange Agreement.
 
 

 
As a condition to CHC’s willingness to enter into the Exchange Agreement, and in consideration therefor, certain shareholders of the Company, who collectively beneficially own 253,636 shares of Company Common Stock as of the date of the Exchange Agreement (the “Principal Shareholders”), entered into a Principal Shareholder Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2005, with CHC (the “Principal Shareholder Agreement”). CHC did not pay additional consideration to the Principal Shareholders in connection with the execution and delivery of the Principal Shareholder Agreement. Pursuant to the Principal Shareholder Agreement, each of the Principal Shareholders agreed (i) to vote his or her shares of Company Common Stock in favor of granting the Company Shareholder Approval, (ii) not to Transfer, or enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement (including profit sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of, any of his or her shares of Company Common Stock to any person other than pursuant to the Share Exchange (as hereinafter defined) and (iii) that if the Exchange Agreement is terminated in circumstances under which CHC is or may become entitled to a termination fee under Section 6.09 of the Exchange Agreement, each Principal Shareholder shall, severally and not jointly, pay to CHC on demand an amount equal to 50% of the profit of such Principal Shareholder from the consummation of any Company Takeover Proposal that is consummated, or for which a definitive agreement is entered into, within 270 days of such termination. In addition, each Principal Shareholder delivered irrevocable proxies for the purpose of voting the shares covered by the Principal Shareholder Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreement and Principal Shareholder Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Exchange Agreement and Principal Shareholder Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 3 and 4 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
 
As described in Item 3 above, this 13D is being filed in connection with the Exchange Agreement and the Principal Shareholder Agreement. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in the Exchange Agreement, each share of Company Common Stock (other than (i) shares owned by the Company, (ii) shares held by the shareholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights in compliance with all required procedures under Texas law and (iii) shares owned by CHC at the Effective Time) will be converted into the right to receive $21.75 in cash without interest (the Share Exchange). Completion of the Share Exchange is subject to receipt of the approval of the Company’s shareholders and certain regulatory authorities and other customary closing conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement.
 
Upon the consummation of the Share Exchange, the Company will be a wholly owned subsidiary of CHC and it is anticipated that the directors will resign from the Companys Board of Directors. The Company Common Stock will no longer be traded on the American Stock Exchange and registration of the Common Stock under the Act will be terminated.
 
 


 
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the Share Exchange described above, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:

(a)    The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company;
 
(b)    An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
 
(c)    A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
 
(d)    Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
 
(e)    Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company;
 
(f)    Any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure;
 
(g)    Changes in the Companys charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;
 
(h)    Causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;
 
(i)    A class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or
 
(j)    Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
 
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
(a)    The Company has represented to CHC that there were 1,415,727 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on November 4, 2005. The Principal Shareholders have represented to CHC that as of November 4, 2005, they owned an aggregate of 253,636 shares of Common Stock. The Company has provided certain information to CHC and LGB CR LLC indicating that only 128,717 of the 253,636 shares of Common Stock set forth above were issued and outstanding and the remaining 124,919 shares were unissued as a result of transfer restrictions or requirements under the Company’s stock for compensation program. The 253,636 shares would constitute 16.5% of: (i) the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, plus (ii) the 124,919 unissued shares of the Principal Shareholders.
 
 

 
Nothing in this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any of CHC or LGB CR LLC is, for the purposes of the Act, the beneficial owner of any of such shares of Common Stock owned by the Principal Shareholders.
 
(b)    As the result of the Principal Shareholder Agreement, CHC may be deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power with respect to the 253,636 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Principal Shareholders. As the owner of 100% of the capital stock of CHC, LGB CR LLC may be deemed to have shared voting or dispositive power with respect to the 253,636 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Principal Shareholders.
 
(c)    Other than as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days. To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no executive officer or director of any Reporting Person or manager of any of the Reporting Persons, as the case may be, has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
 
(d)    Not applicable.
 
(e)    Not applicable.
 
Item 6.

The foregoing description of the Rollover Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rollover Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 5 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Except for the agreements described above, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise), including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, between the persons enumerated in Item 2, and any other person, with respect to any securities of the Company, including any securities pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities other than standard default and similar provisions contained in loan agreements.

Section 3.02. Investment Intention; No Resales. The Purchaser is acquiring the Purchased Shares or Remaining Shares, as the case may be, for investment, solely for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Parent Common Stock so acquired by the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement (as defined below).
