Pursuant to a series of transactions ending on February 25, 2003, WPA I Ltd. purchased for an aggregate of $2,401,960 in cash an aggregate of 595,750 shares of Stock. Pursuant to a series of transactions ending on February 18, 2003, Beard, individually, purchased for an aggregate of $1,762,697 in cash an aggregate of 417,300 shares of Stock. WPA I Ltd. used “working capital” to purchase its Stock. As used herein, the term “working capital” includes income from the business operations of the entity plus sums borrowed from, among other sources, banks and brokerage firm margin accounts, to operate such business in general. Beard used personal funds and funds borrowed from brokerage fund margin accounts to purchase his shares of Stock.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Although the Reporting Persons originally purchased shares of Stock for investment, WPA I Ltd. and Beard have decided to encourage the Issuer, directly and through its Board of Directors, to pursue a sale of the Issuer in one or more parts in an open publicly announced fashion with a view to consummating such transactions not later than February 1, 2004. In connection with that decision, the Reporting Persons entered into a Group Agreement, dated as of February 26, 2003, to report their actions with respect to the Issuer as a “group,” as that term is defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. As part of their efforts to encourage a sale of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons have engaged and expect to continue to engage in meetings and discussions, both directly and indirectly, with third parties, including other shareholders of the Issuer, with respect to potential changes in the operations, assets, capital structure, ownership or control of the Issuer. To the extent that they can use their position, including voting power, as shareholders of the Issuer to encourage a sale of the Issuer or other transaction they perceive as beneficial to the shareholders of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may do so. Among other transactions the Reporting Persons can be expected to consider are the types of transactions described in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D form. The Reporting Persons can be expected to consider supporting proposals by third parties to engage in such transactions as well, and may propose to engage in such transactions with the Issuer directly or through one or more affiliates.

Consistent with its belief that consideration of a sale of the Issuer is in the best interest of the shareholders of the Issuer, WPA I Ltd., on December 19, 2002, submitted a shareholder proposal to the Issuer for consideration at the Issuer’s 2003 annual meeting of shareholders. WPA I Ltd. requested that this proposal be included in any proxy materials relating to the Issuer’s 2003 annual

meeting of shareholders. WPA I Ltd.’s shareholder proposal requests that the Issuer’s Board of Directors pursue a sale of the Company in one or more parts in an open, publicly announced fashion with a view to consummating such transactions not later than February 1, 2004. As part of the Reporting Persons’ ongoing evaluation of their investment in the Issuer, representatives of the Reporting Persons may meet with representatives of the Issuer to discuss WPA I Ltd.’s shareholder proposal and the Reporting Persons’ views with respect to the operations, assets, capital structure, ownership or control of the Issuer. At any such meeting, the Reporting Persons may make proposals relating to changes in the operations, assets, capital structure, ownership or control of the Issuer or discuss their views with respect to any proposals of others. Such expression of views may relate to one or more of the transactions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D form.

Subject to the foregoing, the Reporting Persons intend to continue to evaluate the Issuer’s business, prospects and financial condition, the market for the Stock, monetary and stock market conditions and other further developments.

Depending upon, among other things, the factors set forth above, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to (i) dispose of all or part of their investment in the Stock at any time, (ii) acquire additional shares of Stock by tender offer, in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise, (iii) propose a merger or similar business combination with the Issuer or its affiliates, (iv) seek control of the Issuer by stock ownership or otherwise, or (v) take any other action with respect to the Issuer.

(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
