Item 2.                   Identity and Background.

Item No. 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

Meron Mann ceased to be a member of the Section 13(d) group and, accordingly, a Reporting Person following the Issuer's 2007 annual meeting on July 19, 2007. The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing as a group statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer to the extent required by applicable law.

Item 3.                   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item No. 3 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

The aggregate purchase price, including commissions, of the 2,341,101 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock purchased by Everest and reported in this Schedule 13D is $710,117 (including all brokers’ commissions).  The shares of Common Stock reported herein were purchased with Everest’s working capital.

Item 4.                   Purpose of Transaction.

Item No. 4 is hereby amended to include the following:

On February 1, 2008, Everest delivered a letter to the Issuer voicing its disappointment over the apparent lack of progress concerning the non-binding recapitalization proposal whereby holders of the Issuer’s Series A1 Senior Cumulative Participating Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) are to be converted into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Recapitalization Proposal”) that was approved by stockholders at the Issuer’s 2007 annual meeting.

A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.                   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

5(a)           As of February 1, 2008, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to own beneficially 2,341,101 Shares which constitutes approximately 14.4% of the 16,260,324 outstanding shares of the Common Stock (based upon the number of shares that were reported to be outstanding as of November 2, 2007 in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007).  MEFM, by virtue of its status as the general partner of Everest, may be deemed to own beneficially the Shares held by Everest.  Elchanan Maoz by virtue of his status as a controlling stockholder of MEFM, the general partner of Everest, may be deemed to own beneficially the Shares held by Everest.  MEFM and Elchanan Maoz disclaim beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
