STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is filed by ASSI, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ASSI”), and Louis Habash (“Habash”), to amend and update the Schedule 13D dated April 5, 2002 (the “Original Schedule 13D”), which was previously amended by Amendment No. 1 dated November 14, 2002.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.  Items not included in this Amendment are either not amended or not applicable.

Item 4.

 

Purpose of Transactions.

 

 

Item 4 is amended to read as follows:

 

The shares of Common Stock purchased by ASSI were purchased as an investment based on the belief of ASSI that they provided an opportunity for a long-term appreciation.  Each of the Reporting Persons intends to monitor and evaluate its direct and indirect investments in the Company on a continuing basis. Based upon their evaluation from time to time, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, dispose of shares of Common Stock they beneficially own, submit one or more proposals for the consideration of management of the Company, and/or communicate with other shareholders of the Company.

Since the filing of the Original Schedule 13D, ASSI has had various preliminary discussions with the Company and its advisers regarding potential transactions between ASSI and the Company, including direct investment by ASSI in the Company.  ASSI is currently exploring the possibility of acquiring all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company by means of a negotiated merger with the Company and is commencing a more detailed diligence review of the Company in connection with that.

Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Persons, however, may at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their positions with respect to any of such matters.
