Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D shall remain unchanged. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND (a), (b), (c) and (f). This Schedule 13D is being filed by Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P. (the "Partnership"), Wynnefield Small Cap Offshore Fund, Ltd. (the "Fund"), Wynnefield Partners Small Cap Value, L.P.

CUSIP No. 20651H 10 2 13D/A Page 8 of 12 Pages ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER. Item 5 is hereby supplemented and amended to reflect that: (a) - (c) As of April 14, 2003, the Wynnefield Group beneficially owned in the aggregate 164,496 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.81% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 5,845,664 shares outstanding on February 28, 2003, as set forth in the Company's most recent report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2003). The following table sets forth certain information with respect to shares of Common Stock beneficially owned directly by the Wynnefield Group members listed: APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF PERCENTAGE OF NAME SHARES OUTSTANDING SHARES ---- ------ ------------------ Partnership * 29,650 0.51% Partnership-I * 89,846 1.54% Fund** -0- -0-% Channel 20,000 0.34% Mr. Obus, as joint tenant with Eve E. Coulson 25,000 0.43% * WCM has an indirect beneficial ownership interest in these shares of Common Stock. ** WCI has an indirect beneficial ownership interest in these shares of Common Stock. WCM is the sole general partner of Partnership and Partnership-I and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that Partnership and Partnership-I beneficially own. WCM, as the sole general partner of Partnership and Partnership-I, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that Partnership and Partnership-I beneficially own. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the co-managing members of WCM and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as a co-managing member of WCM, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCM may be deemed to beneficially own. WCI is the sole investment manager of the Fund and, accordingly, may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that the Fund beneficially owns. WCI , as the sole investment manager of the Fund, has the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that the Fund beneficially owns. Messrs. Obus and Landes are the principal executive officers of WCI and, accordingly, each of Messrs. Obus and Landes may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner (as that term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to CUSIP No. 20651H 10 2 13D/A Page 9 of 12 Pages beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Obus and Landes, as a principal executive officer of WCI, shares with the other the power to direct the voting and disposition of the shares of Common Stock that WCI may be deemed to beneficially own. Beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock shown on the cover pages of and set forth elsewhere in this Amendment for each of the members of the Wynnefield Group assumes that they have not formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder. If the members of the Wynnefield Group were deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5(b)(1), the group would be deemed to own beneficially (and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over) 164,496 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.81% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the percentage of shares owned being based upon 5,845,664 shares outstanding on February 28, 2003, as set forth in the Company's most recent report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 6, 2003). The filing of this Amendment and any future amendment by the Wynnefield Group, and the inclusion of information herein and therein with respect to Messrs. Obus and Landes, shall not be considered an admission that any of such persons, for the purpose of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, are the beneficial owners of any shares in which such persons do not have a pecuniary interest. To the best knowledge of the Wynnefield Group, except as described in this Amendment, none of the Wynnefield Group, any person in control (ultimately or otherwise) of the Wynnefield Group, any general partner, executive officer or director thereof, as applicable, beneficially owns any Common Stock, and except as set forth in the table below, there have been no transactions in shares of Common Stock effected during the past 60 days by the Wynnefield Group, any person in control of the Wynnefield Group (ultimately or otherwise), or any general partner, executive officer or director thereof, as applicable; provided, however, certain investment banking affiliates of the Wynnefield Group may beneficially own shares of Common Stock, including shares that may be held in discretionary or advisory accounts with the Wynnefield Group; and the Wynnefield Group, directly or in connection with such discretionary or advisory accounts, may acquire, hold, vote or dispose of Common Stock, including transactions that may have occurred in the past 60 days. The Wynnefield Group has made sales of shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days as follows: Name Date Number of Shares Price Per Share - ---- ---- ---------------- --------------- Partnership February 14, 2003 5,900 $12.9805 Partnership March 27, 2003 10,000 $16.0688 Partnership April 2, 2003 10,000 $16.3 Partnership April 4, 2003 8,000 $16.34 Partnership April 7, 2003 10,000 $16.35 Partnership April 8, 2003 3,400 $16.83 CUSIP No. 20651H 10 2 13D/A Page 10 of 12 Pages Name Date Number of Shares Price Per Share - ---- ---- ---------------- --------------- Partnership-I February 14, 2003 8,500 $12.9805 Name Date Number of Shares Price Per Share - ---- ---- ---------------- --------------- Fund February 14, 2003 600 $12.9805 Name Date Number of Shares Price Per Share - ---- ---- ---------------- --------------- Channell February 14, 2003 10,000 $12.9805 Channell April 3, 2003 3,000 $16.47 Channell April 4, 2003 7,000 $16.34 Channell April 8, 2003 5,000 $16.83 Channell April 9, 2003 5,000 $17.6 (d) No person, other than each of the members of the Wynnefield Group referred to as the direct beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock set forth in this response to Item 5, has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such shares of Common Stock.
