Item 4. Ownership:

   Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

(a) Amount Beneficially Owned

    As of the date of this filing, each Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the following:

(i)  99,300 shares of Common Stock owned by Millenco, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Millenco"), formerly known as Millenco, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership;

(ii)  100,000 Class A Warrants ("Class A Warrant") owned by Millenco. Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $6.60. Each Class A Warrant became exercisable on August 10, 2006 and will expire on July 10, 2011. Beginning on January 6, 2007, the Company has the right to redeem the Class A Warrants at a redemption price of $0.25 per Class A Warrant. The redemption right arises only if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Common Stock equals or exceeds $9.35 for the five consecutive trading days ending prior to the notice of redemption. The Company is required to provide 30 days prior written notice to the Class A Warrant holders of the Company’s intention to redeem the Class A Warrants; and

(iii)  200,000 Class B Warrants ("Class B Warrant") owned by Millenco. Each Class B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s Common Stock at a price of $11.00. Each Class B Warrant became exercisable on August 10, 2006, and will expire on July 10, 2011. The Company does not have the right to redeem the Class B Warrants.

   Millenco is a broker-dealer and a member of the American Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ.

   Millennium Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Millennium Management"), is the manager of Millenco, and consequently may be deemed to have voting control and investment discretion over securities owned by Millenco. Israel A. Englander ("Mr. Englander") is the managing member of Millennium Management. As a result, Mr. Englander may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares deemed to be beneficially owned by Millennium Management. The foregoing should not be construed in and of itself as an admission by Millennium Management or Mr. Englander as to beneficial ownership of the shares owned by Millenco.

   Note:  Integrated Holding Group, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Integrated Holding Group"), is a non-managing member of Millenco. As a non-managing member, Integrated Holding Group has no investment or voting control over Millenco or its securities positions.
