Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment No. 5 shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended Schedule 13D.

2. ITEM 5 OF THE SCHEDULE 13D IS HEREBY AMENDED TO ADD THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

 

ITEM 5.

Interests in Securities of the Issuer.

(a), (b) SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III are controlled by the General Partner. As a result, each of SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III may be deemed members of a group and may be deemed to beneficially own for purposes of Section 13(d) the shares beneficially owned for such purposes by the other.

SAVF is the owner of 562,813 Common Shares, which represents approximately 6.65% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. SAVF II is the owner of 330,370 Common Shares, which represents approximately 3.90% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. SAVF III is the owner of 58,013 Common Shares, which represents approximately 0.69% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Accordingly, the Shamrock Activist Value Fund owns 951,196 Common Shares, which represents approximately 11.24% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

As the general partner of each of SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III, the General Partner may be deemed to beneficially own the 951,196 Common Shares owned by the Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 11.24% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. As the managing member of the General Partner, Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 951,196 Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, constituting approximately 11.24% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. Shamrock Partners has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the 951,196 Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund by virtue of its authority to vote and dispose of such Common Shares. Finally, each of the controlling persons of Shamrock Partners may be deemed to beneficially own the 951,196 Common Shares owned by Shamrock Activist Value Fund, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act. Those controlling persons were identified in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D, as previously filed.

The percentage of ownership figures set forth above and in this response to Items 5(a) and 5(b) assumes that 8,463,711 Common Shares were outstanding as of April 25, 2007 based on the information contained in the Company’s Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2007.

(c) During the last 60 days, SAVF, SAVF II and SAVF III acquired Common Shares on such dates, in such amounts and at such per share prices (excluding brokerage fees) as indicated on the Schedule of Transactions attached hereto as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference. All such transactions were effected in the open market on the NASDAQ National Market.
