Item 2. Identity and Background.

This statement is filed jointly by: (1) Otter Creek Partners I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“OCP”), (2) Otter Creek International, Ltd., a British Virgin Islands international business company (“OCI”) and (3) the Long Family Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (“LFLP”) (sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”)

OCP has its principal business and executive offices at 400 Royal Palm Way, Suite 212, Palm Beach, Florida 33480. Otter Creek Management Inc., a Delaware corporation (“OCM”), is the sole general partner of OCP and investment advisor of OCP and OCI. R. Keith Long is the sole director and sole shareholder of OCM. Mr. Long and Joseph W. O’Neill, Jr. are the executive officers of OCM. Mr. Long and Oskar P. Lewnowski are the directors of OCI.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor any of the persons identified in this Item 2, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

CUSIP No. 811163 10 4   Page 6 of 10

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The securities of the Issuer acquired and held by the Reporting Persons were acquired in the ordinary course of business and, except as described herein, were not acquired for the purpose of or, with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time, acquire additional shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer in open market purchases or through negotiated private purchases.

Section 5 of Article IX of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated May 16, 1988 provides as follows:

“Commencing on January 1, 1994, if Shares of the Trust have traded on the principal securities exchange where listed at an average discount from net asset value of more than ten percent (10%), determined on the basis of the discount as of the end of the last trading day in each week during the period of twelve (12) calendar weeks preceding the beginning of each such year, the Trustees will submit to the Shareholders at the next succeeding meeting, or within six months thereafter if sooner, a proposal to convert the Trust from a “closed-end company” to an “open-end company” as those terms are defined in Sections 5(a)(2) and 5(a)(1), respectively, of the [Investment Company Act of 1940] as in effect on May 16, 1988, together with the necessary amendments to this Declaration of Trust to permit such a conversion.”

The Issuer’s shares have traded at an average discount from net asset value on the last trading day in each week during the period of twelve (12) calendar weeks preceding January 1, 2005, which would, in the opinion of the Reporting Persons, trigger the provisions of Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust. The Reporting Persons intend to communicate with the Trustees of the Issuer, to determine their position with respect to this provision of the Trust. Subject to the Trustee’s response to the request of the Reporting Persons that the Trustees take appropriate action to effectuate the provisions of Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to take any action they deem necessary or appropriate to cause the Trustees to comply with Section 5 of Article IX of the Trust.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

OCP owns 907,500 shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer constituting approximately 2.67% of the outstanding common stock.

OCI owns 1,761,592 shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer constituting approximately 5.18% of the outstanding common stock.

LFLP owns 6,400 shares of beneficial interest of the Issuer constituting approximately 0.02% of the outstanding common stock.
