Introduction

This Amendment No. 5 (the “Final Amendment”) to the Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (the “Transaction Statement”) is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) to report the results of the transaction that is the subject of the Transaction Statement. The Transaction Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 15. Additional Information.

This Final Amendment reports the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 22, 2006, as amended August 10, 2006, among the Company, Parent and Merger Sub (the “Merger Agreement”). As required by the Merger Agreement, on August 25, 2006, the Merger Agreement was approved by (i) a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all common stock (Class A and Class B) outstanding on the record date, voting together as one class, and (ii) a majority of the shares of Class A common stock held by non-rollover shareholders, excluding shares held by David A. Nicholson and Rodney B. Harrison, two officers of the Company or its subsidiaries who are parties to a voting and support agreement with Parent but who are not retaining an ongoing ownership interest in the Company. The other conditions to the merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived. The Certificate of Merger was filed with the Georgia Secretary of State on August 25, 2006 (with the time of such filing on that date being the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, Merger Sub merged into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive $10.00 in cash (other than treasury shares and shares held by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and its subsidiaries, which were cancelled, and other than shares as to which shareholders demanded dissenters’ rights in accordance with Georgia law). In addition, each option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, whether or not exercisable, was canceled, and each option holder was paid a special payment in cash equal to $10.00 per share of Class A common stock of the Company underlying such stock option, less the applicable exercise price for such stock option. All outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Class A common stock of the Company not exercised prior to the Merger were terminated, and each holder of unexercised warrants was paid a special payment in cash equal to $10.00 per share of Class A common stock of the Company underlying such warrant, less the applicable exercise price for such warrant. Finally, at the Effective Time of the Merger, the right of each of our then-current and former non-employee directors to receive shares of Class A common stock of the Company pursuant to our Non-employee Directors’ Compensation Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”) terminated, and each such director received a payment in cash equal to $10.00 for each share that was issuable to him under such plan.

Immediately following the Merger, Parent owned all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company as the surviving corporation. The Company’s Class A Common Stock ceased to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board effective at the close of the market on August 25, 2006, and at the Effective Time became eligible for deregistration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to deregister its common stock as soon as possible.
