Item 4. Ownership. Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1. Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2, 3, 4, and 5 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of Cypress Advisors, Cypress Master, Dirickson or Marcus (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any the securities to which this Schedule relates (the "Securities"), and each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests therein. Under the definition of "beneficial ownership" in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the "beneficial owners" of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of such securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. The Reporting Persons have calculated their beneficial ownership percentages reported herein in reliance upon estimates provided by the Issuer of 7,217,517 outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Issuer's estimates have not been separately reported on any annual, quarterly or current report filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on Form 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K, and may be inaccurate. As reported in the Issuer's Form 8-K filed with the Commission on June 4, 2007, up to 10,000,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock may be distributed to certain classes of claim holders in connection with the Issuer's plan of reorganization described therein (the "Plan of Reorganization"). The number of outstanding shares and the Reporting Persons' respective beneficial ownership percentages may change as claims are resolved and additional shares are issued to claimants under the Plan of Reorganization. CUSIP 01953P109 SCHEDULE 13G Page 8 of 10 Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following []. N/A Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person. Cypress Advisors is filing this Schedule because, as investment manager for certain accounts in which the Securities are held, Cypress Advisors has been granted the authority to dispose of and vote those Securities. Each entity that owns an account has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Securities held in the account. Item 7.
