The aggregate purchase price of the Shares owned directly by Western Acquisitions is approximately $19,159,411.  The Shares owned directly by Western Acquisitions were acquired with the working capital of Western Acquisitions.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On August 13, 2009, the Issuer and WSC announced the execution of a non-binding Letter of Intent relating to a proposed merger of WSC into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.  The Letter of Intent was negotiated between special committees of the boards of directors of both companies both of which were composed entirely of independent directors.

The Letter of Intent contemplates that on or prior to closing WSC will distribute to its stockholders all of the Shares beneficially owned by WSC.  Further, under the terms of the Letter of Intent, the consideration payable to WSC’s stockholders will be based on a net transaction valuation of approximately $22,959,000.  At closing, each share of WSC’s common stock would be converted into the right to receive an amount equal to approximately $8.11 in the principal amount of debentures issued by the Issuer.  It is anticipated that the debentures will have a term of five (5) years, will bear interest at the rate of 14% per annum and will be pre-payable without penalty at the option of the Issuer after one (1) year from the date of issuance.

The closing of the transaction is subject to certain conditions, including negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and the satisfactory completion of the parties’ due diligence. In addition to definitive documentation, the consummation of a transaction would be subject to final approval by the parties’ boards of directors and approval by WSC’s stockholders, and the satisfaction of any conditions to closing set forth in the definitive documentation.  There can be no assurance that a merger will be consummated or, if consummated, that the terms set forth in the definitive documentation will be consistent with the current expectations of the Issuer and WSC, as contemplated by the terms of the Letter of Intent.
