Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase. ITEMS 1-13. The Schedule TO, which expressly incorporates by reference the information provided in the Offer to Purchase in response to all items of the Schedule TO and the Schedule 13E-3, is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: The section captioned "Special Factors - Certain Effects of the Offer" is hereby amended to add the following disclosure after the last sentence of the last paragraph: "Certain Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, (i) Purchaser will merge with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Purchaser will cease; (ii) all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of Purchaser and the Company will vest in the Surviving Corporation; (iii) all obligations, duties, debts and liabilities of Purchaser and the Company will be the obligations, duties, debts and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation; and (iv) the Surviving Corporation will be wholly owned by Parent. Accordingly, subject to applicable law and contractual limitations, if any, Parent will be able to distribute, by way of dividend, loan or otherwise, some or all of the assets of the Company or otherwise make use of or sell such assets as Parent may, in its sole discretion, determine. The total assets of the Company at December 31, 2000 were approximately $95.58 million. The Company, however, had total liabilities of approximately $74.36 million and a net loss of approximately $771,000 at and for the year ended December 31, 2000, respectively. See The Tender Offer - Selected Financial Information. Assuming the completion of the Merger, the Shares will no longer be outstanding and will have been converted into the right to receive the cash Merger Consideration. Therefore, following the Merger, persons who were stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Merger will no longer have the opportunity to continue their interests in the Company as an ongoing corporation and therefore will not share in any future earnings and potential growth of the Company. However, such stockholders will receive cash representing a premium to the historical closing prices per Share on The Nasdaq National Market System over the last twelve months. See The Tender Offer - Price Range of Shares; Dividends. Parent, on the other hand, will continue to share in all future earnings and potential growth of the Company." The section captioned "Special Factors - Position of Parent and Purchaser Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the Merger" is hereby amended to add the following paragraph prior to the first sentence of the first paragraph: "Parent and Purchaser believe that the Offer and the Merger are procedurally fair to the holders of Shares, based on, among other matters, the following factors: (i) the holders of Shares are provided the opportunity to decide for themselves whether the Merger Consideration, the Offer and the Merger are fair and whether such holders should tender Shares into the Offer; (ii) neither Parent nor Purchaser has any representatives on the Company Board; (iii) Parent is subject to a standstill agreement with the Company pursuant to which Parent is not permitted to acquire, until June 14, 2003, without the prior written consent of a majority of the Company's independent directors, any Shares if, as a result of such acquisition, Parent would beneficially own more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the then outstanding Shares; and (iv) the Company acted independently throughout the negotiations with the assistance of independent financial and legal advisors." 3 4 The section captioned "Special Factors - Position of Parent and Purchaser Regarding the Fairness of the Offer and the Merger" is hereby amended to add the following sentences after the last sentence of the last paragraph: "None of net book value, liquidation value or going concern value was considered relevant by Parent or Purchaser in evaluating the fairness of the Offer and the Merger to the Company's unaffiliated stockholders; in particular, neither Parent nor Purchaser believes that any of the foregoing values are accurate indicators of the actual value of the Company in the current context. In connection with their evaluation of the fairness of the Merger Consideration, Parent and Purchaser have expressly adopted the conclusions and analyses set forth in the PwCS opinion." The section captioned "The Tender Offer - Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares" is hereby amended to delete the penultimate sentence of the first paragraph and replace it with the following: "Subject to the Merger Agreement and any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Purchaser's obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer), Purchaser expressly reserves the right to delay the acceptance for payment of or the payment for any tendered Shares in anticipation of governmental regulatory approvals, including the HSR Act and similar statutes and regulations and New Jersey's Industrial Site Recovery Act and similar state statutes and regulations." The section captioned "The Tender Offer - Source and Amount of Funds" is hereby amended to add the following sentence after the last sentence of the last paragraph: "No alternate financing plan exists." The section captioned "The Tender Offer - Certain Conditions of the Offer" is hereby amended to delete the last paragraph in its entirety and replace it with the following: "The conditions set forth above are for the sole benefit of Parent and Purchaser and may be asserted or waived by Parent and Purchaser, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, prior to the Expiration Date, in the sole discretion of Parent and Purchaser. After the Expiration Date, only conditions related to regulatory approvals may be asserted by Parent and Purchaser. The failure by Parent and Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time, subject to the conditions above." 4 5 SIGNATURE After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
