Item 4.     Purpose of Transaction.
            ----------------------

            The  Reporting  Persons  purchased  the  Shares  and the  Debentures
(collectively, the "Securities") based on the Reporting Persons' belief that the
Securities 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 Securities at prices that would make the purchase of additional
Securities  desirable,  the  Reporting  Persons may  endeavor to increase  their
position in the Issuer through,  among other things,  the purchase of Securities
on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at
such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

            No  Reporting  Person has any present  plan or proposal  which would
relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in  subparagraphs  (a) - (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon
completion of any of the actions  discussed above.  Steel Partners II intends to
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  Securities,  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  Securities or selling some or
all of its  Securities  or changing  its  intention  with respect to any and all
matters referred to in Item 4.
