Page 9 of 22 Pages 10 ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION The acquisition of the shares of Common Stock was financed through the working capital of Desa International. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The shares of Common Stock purchased by Desa International have been acquired for investment purposes. Desa International believes that the Common Stock represents an attractive investment opportunity at this time. Any of the Reporting Persons may make additional purchases of Common Stock either in the open market or in private transactions depending upon such person's evaluation of the Issuer's business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Common Stock, other opportunities available to such person, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions and other future developments. Depending on the same factors, Desa International or any other Reporting Person, if applicable, may decide to sell all or part of its investment in the Common Stock, although none has any current intention to do so. Except as set forth in this Item 4, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best of each Reporting Person's knowledge, none of the executive officers or directors of such Reporting Persons, as applicable, has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (g) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

HMFII is the record holder of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock, $0.01 par value, of Desa Holdings. In addition, pursuant to a stockholders agreement among certain stockholders of Desa Holdings, HMFII effectively has the right to designate more than half of the total number of directors of Desa Holdings and Desa International. Therefore, HMFII may be deemed to control each of Desa Holdings and Desa International. HM2/GP is the sole general partner of HMFII, and therefore may be deemed to control HMFII and indirectly, through HMFII and Desa Holdings, control Desa International. GP Partners is the sole general partner of HM2/GP, and therefore may be deemed to control HM2/GP and indirectly, through HM2/GP, HMFII and Desa Holdings, control Desa International. Hicks Muse is the sole general partner of GP Partners, and therefore may be deemed to control GP Partners and indirectly, through GP Partners, HM2/GP, HMFII and Desa Holdings, control Desa International. Mr. Hicks is the controlling stockholder and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hicks Muse. Based upon the foregoing relationships and stock ownership and pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules promulgated thereunder, HMFII, HM2/GP, Page 10 of 22 Pages 11 GP Partners, Hicks Muse and Mr. Hicks each may be deemed to have indirect shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 200,300 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 5.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, owned of record by Desa International. The Reporting Persons each expressly disclaim the existence of any group; and HMFII, HM2/GP, GP Partners, Hicks Muse and Mr. Hicks each expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock covered by this statement. (b) The responses of the Reporting Persons set forth above in items 7 through 11 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D which relate to shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are incorporated herein by reference.
