The Company hereby terminates and withdraws its Offer to Purchase for Cash up to $10 million in value of shares of its common stock, which Offer to Purchase was previously announced on August 29, 2008, as a result of the Company’s receipt (prior to the Expiration Time) of an unsolicited inbound offer to purchase all of the Company’s common stock.  As a result, SRS will not repurchase any shares under the Offer to Purchase, and any shares previously tendered in connection with the Offer to Purchase will be returned promptly to the tendering stockholders by the depositary.  After consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the Company’s board of directors has indicated that it believes that proceeding with the inbound offer as submitted is not in the best interest of the SRS stockholders.
