Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

         This  transaction  reflects  the  granting to the  reporting  person of
voting  proxies  on  shares  of  Common  Stock  of  the  issuer  owned  by  nine
individuals.  These  shareholders  have granted a voting proxy to the  reporting
person  because  this will  allow  the  issuer to be  treated  as a  "Controlled
Company" under rule 4350(c) of The NASDAQ Stock Market.  While the proxy permits
the  reporting  person the right to vote on any corporate  matter,  there are no
specific  current plans  requiring the exercise of the granted  proxies.  Futher
more, there are no plans or proposals  relating to the granting of these proxies
with regard to any events specified in sub Items(a) through (j) of this Item 4.

________________________________________________________________________________
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         (a) The shares  subject to the grant of the proxies  combined  with the
shares owned  directly by the reporting  person  represents  52.1 percent of the
total shares of Common Stock outstanding of the issuer.

         (b) The reporting  person holds 1,825,749  shares directly for which he
has sole voting and  dispositive  powers and 743,282  shares  subject to proxies
which he has sole voting  powers.  The nine persons  granting the voting proxies
continue to hold sole dispositive power on their shares.

         (c) There have been no transactions in the last 60 days.

         (d) The nine persons  granting the voting proxies continue to hold sole
dispositive  power on their shares and retain the right to receive any dividends
paid by the issuer.

         (e) N/A
________________________________________________________________________________
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to
Securities of the Issuer.

         The nine individual  holders of Common Stock of the issuer have granted
the reporting person an irrevocable proxy relating to shares  individually owned
for periods  ranging from one to three years.  As such the reporting  person has
the right for the term of these  proxies to vote such  shares on any matter that
may legally  come before any meeting of  shareholders  or through any consent of
the shareholders.
