ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Ide purchased the shares of Common Stock for the purpose of investing in the

time to time and subject to applicable law and regulation and depending upon
certain factors, including, without limitation, the financial performance of
the Issuer, the availability and price of shares of Common Stock or other

- - acquire through open market purchases or otherwise additional shares of

discussions with and respond to any inquiries from various parties,
including, without limitation, the Issuer's Board of Directors, management or
representatives, other shareholders and other persons or entities regarding

upon certain factors, including, without limitation, the financial
performance of the Issuer, the availability and price of shares of Common
Stock or other securities related to the Issuer, and other general market and

or indirectly changing or influencing control of the Issuer; or

- -	providing financing for any of the foregoing.

Such transactions may take place at any time without prior notice.  There can
be no assurance, however that the possible courses of action expressed in the
immediately preceding sentence will be pursued or, if pursued, will be
consummated by Ide.
