Item 4.Purpose of Transaction
  The Reporting Persons have acquired their Shares to establish a significant equity interest in, and with a view toward seeking control of or the entire equity interest in, the Company.

Mr. McTavish has had discussions with the other Reporting Persons and with representatives of Oaktree relating to the potential participation of the Reporting Persons and Oaktree in a transaction that may result in changing or influencing control of the Company. Mr. McTavish has also engaged in discussions and exchanged correspondence with representatives of the Company in connection with the Reporting Persons' interest in the Company and the acquisition of additional Shares. See Exhibits 1, 2, 3 and 4 for copies of letters relating thereto.

Although the Reporting Persons would prefer to acquire the Company in a negotiated transaction, the Reporting Persons may consider other alternatives to achieve their stated objective of acquiring the Company, including, subject to market conditions, acquiring additional Shares through a tender offer, open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions, or a combination thereof, or seeking to obtain representation on, or control of, the Company's Board of Directors. The Reporting Persons, however, have made no decision concerning the foregoing, and any such decision will depend upon the circumstances existing at the time.

Although the Reporting Persons have had, and expect to continue to have, discussions regarding the Company and its operations, assets, capital structure, management and board of directors and the possible acquisition of additional Shares, and the Reporting Persons have expressed an interest in pursuing a possible transaction involving the Company, there exists no agreement between any of the Reporting Persons of the kind described in clauses (a) and (j) of Item 4 to Schedule 13D. In addition, the Reporting Persons may from time to time have discussions with Oaktree that may result in an agreement or understanding relating to the coordination and the acquisition and/or disposition of the Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the Reporting Persons has any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any other Reporting Person or with Oaktree regarding the voting or disposition of any Shares held of record or beneficially by Oaktree. However, by virtue of the discussions described above and any subsequent agreement or understanding that may arise between the Reporting Persons and Oaktree with respect thereto, the Reporting Persons and Oaktree may be deemed to be a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, although neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons that a group exists. In order to avoid any question as to whether the Reporting Persons' and Oaktree's beneficial ownership is subject to a reporting obligation under Regulation 13D and in order to provide greater investment flexibility, the Reporting Persons and Oaktree have decided to file their respective Schedules 13D at this time, although neither the Reporting Persons nor Oaktree are individually owners of more than 5% of the Shares. In their Schedule 13D, Oaktree has disclaimed beneficial ownership of any Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons, and the Reporting Persons hereby disclaim beneficial ownership of any Shares beneficially owned by Oaktree.

Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the following actions:

(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 Company's 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 Exchange Act; or

(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Although the foregoing represents the current plans and intentions of the Reporting Persons, it should be noted that such plans and intentions may change at any time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Reporting Persons will actually purchase any additional Shares. In this connection, the Reporting Persons are continuously reviewing all aspects of their Share position, particularly the feasibility and advisability of acquiring the entire equity interest in the Company. Consequently, the Reporting Persons expressly reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of all or part of their Share position and may do so at any time. Whether the Reporting Persons decide to acquire additional Shares or sell some or all of the Shares that they now hold will depend upon circumstances existing from time to time, many of which the Reporting Persons cannot control, including market conditions and any response that the Company may make to the Reporting Persons' efforts to acquire control of the Company.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer
  Mr. McTavish may be deemed to beneficially own 89,700 Shares, or approximately 1.1% of the outstanding Shares, by virtue of his sole power to vote and his sole power to dispose of such Shares.

Mr. Blicksilver may be deemed to beneficially own 17,500 Shares, or approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Shares, by virtue of his sole power to vote and his sole power to dispose of such Shares.

Mr. Stull may be deemed to beneficially own 4,800 Shares, or approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Shares, by virtue of his sole power to vote and his sole power to dispose of such Shares.

Mr. Zuzelo may be deemed to beneficially own 18,000 Shares, or approximately 0.2% of the outstanding Shares, by virtue of his sole power to vote and his sole power to dispose of such Shares.

Mr. Magliolo may be deemed to beneficially own 6,000 Shares, or approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Shares, by virtue of his sole power to vote and his sole power to dispose of such Shares.

The Reporting Persons, in the aggregate, beneficially own 136,000 Shares, or approximately 1.7% of the outstanding Shares.

The Reporting Persons, together with Oaktree, may be deemed to be members of a group under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. At the close of business on April 18, 2003, Oaktree may be deemed to beneficially own 304,200 Shares, or approximately 3.9% of the outstanding Shares. Each of the Reporting Persons and Oaktree may therefore be deemed to beneficially own 440,200 Shares, or approximately 5.6% of the outstanding Shares. None of the Reporting Persons, directly or indirectly, have or share the power to vote or to direct the vote of, or to dispose or to direct the disposition of, Shares held or record by the other Reporting Persons or Oaktree. Neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission that any Reporting Person beneficially owns any Shares held of record by any other Reporting Person or Oaktree for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the other Reporting Persons and Oaktree.

The percentages of Shares outstanding reported as beneficially owned by each person herein on the date hereof is based upon 7,809,834 Shares outstanding on March 14, 2003, as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Information concerning transactions in equity securities of the Company effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days is set forth on Schedule A hereto.

 
Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
