Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 of the statement on Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Each of Gehrig H. White, Arthur Lee Lomax and James Crawford are founders of the Company. For estate planning reasons Messrs. White, Lomax and Crawford have chosen to hold their shares of the Common Stock through GHW Enterprises, LLC, Arthur Lee Lomax 2005 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust and Crawford Ventures, LLC, respectively.

Mr. White is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Crawford is the President of the Company. Each of Messrs. White, Lomax and Crawford serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

In the course of its business, the Company was introduced to representatives of Aristocrat. The Company and Aristocrat discussed the possibility of Aristocrat becoming a distributor of the Company’s products. During the course of these discussions, Aristocrat indicated its desire to acquire an ownership interest in the Company of at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Company’s representatives indicated that the Company was not interested in issuing additional shares of Common Stock and thereby diluting the ownership interests of its existing shareholders.

Aristocrat and the Company discussed whether Aristocrat might be successful in purchasing shares of Common Stock from one or more of the Company’s existing shareholders. Subsequently, representatives of the Company introduced Aristocrat representatives to representatives of WPT Enterprises, Inc. (“WPTE”). Messrs. White, Lomax and Crawford also considered selling shares of Common Stock to Aristocrat in order to provide Aristocrat with the approximate 10% ownership interest in the Company that it desired in connection with becoming a distributor of the Company’s products.

According to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by WPTE with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 23, 2006, Aristocrat and WPTE executed a securities purchase agreement on January 20, 2006 pursuant to which Aristocrat agreed to purchase 630,000 shares of Common Stock, at a price per share equal to $9.03, subject to certain conditions. The purchase price of $9.03 was obtained by multiplying the total number of shares of Common Stock to be sold by WPTE by the weighted average closing price (weighted with reference to trading volume on each trading day) of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National Market during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding January 20, 2006. It is the understanding of the Filing Group that the sale of these 630,000 shares of Common Stock was completed as of February 28, 2006. Also on January 20, 2006, the Company entered into an international distribution rights agreement with Aristocrat (the “Distribution Agreement”). The term of the Distribution Agreement is for a period of six months, beginning on the commencement date (January 20, 2006). The term of the Distribution Agreement will be automatically extended to ten years if Aristocrat enters into and completes one or more securities purchase agreements that provide for the purchase by Aristocrat of an aggregate of 946,800 shares (approximately 10%) of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock purchased by Aristocrat from WPTE will count toward satisfying the total number of shares of Common Stock that must be purchased by Aristocrat in order to extend the term of the Distribution Agreement.

In order to facilitate the acquisition by Aristocrat of the additional shares of Common Stock needed to trigger the extension of the Distribution Agreement, Messrs. White, Lomax and Crawford negotiated with Aristocrat the sale of an aggregate of 316,800 shares of Common Stock held by GHW Enterprises, LLC, Arthur Lee Lomax 2005 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust and Crawford Ventures, LLC. As of February 28, 2006, each of GHW Enterprises, LLC, Arthur Lee Lomax 2005 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust and Crawford Ventures, LLC has executed a securities purchase agreement with Aristocrat and each has completed the sale to Aristocrat of 105,600 shares of Common Stock, respectively, pursuant to such securities purchase agreements.

The decision by Messrs. White, Lomax and Crawford to sell certain shares of Common Stock held by their respective estate planning entities to Aristocrat was made independent of the sale of Common Stock by WPTE to Aristocrat. Therefore, although the timing of Aristocrat’s purchases from WPTE and each of GHW Enterprises, LLC, Arthur Lee Lomax 2005 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust and Crawford Ventures, LLC is identical, each of the members of the Filing Group disclaims


membership in a group with each other and with WPTE pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b). In addition, since the only purpose of the Filing Group was to consider and negotiate potential sales of Common Stock to Aristocrat, the consummation of those sales shall be deemed to cause the disbandment of the Filing Group. The former members of the Filing Group have no current intention to act in concert with respect to any purchases or sales of shares of Common Stock and do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to this Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Any such intentions, plans or proposals that may arise in the future, if ever any, shall be set forth on a separate statement on Schedule 13D. The Filing Group is thus defunct as of February 28, 2006.
