         The following  constitutes  Amendment No. 5 ("Amendment  No. 5") to the
Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned.  This Amendment No. 5 amends the Schedule

L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("NSOF II"),  Newcastle Capital Management,

Texas limited liability company ("NCG"),  and Mark E. Schwarz (together with NP,
NSOF I, NSOF II, NCM and NCG, the "Reporting Persons").  Because Mark Schwarz is
the  managing  member of NCG,  which is the  general  partners of NCM (with Mark
Schwarz,  NCG and NCM  hereinafter  referred to as the  "Controlling  Persons"),
which in turn is the  general  partner  of each of NP,  NSOF I and NSOF II,  the
Controlling  Persons  may be deemed,  pursuant  to Rule 13d-3 of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), to be the beneficial owners of all
shares of Common  Stock held by each of NP,  NSOF I and NSOF II.  The  Reporting
Persons are filing this joint  statement,  as they may be  considered  a "group"
under Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. However,  neither the fact of this filing nor
anything  contained herein shall be deemed an admission by the Reporting Persons
that such a group exists.

         As stated  above,  Mark  Schwarz  is the  managing  member of NCG.  The
principal business of NCG is acting as the general partner of NCM. The principal
business of NCM is acting as the general  partner of each of NP, NSOF I and NSOF
II. The  principal  business of each of NP, NSOF I and NSOF II is  investing  in
securities. The principal place of business and principal office for each of the
Reporting Persons is 300 Crescent Court, Suite 1110, Dallas, Texas 75201.

         (d) During the last five years,  none of the Reporting Persons has been
convicted in a criminal  proceeding  (excluding  traffic  violations  or similar
misdemeanors).

         (e) During the last five years,  none of the Reporting Persons 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.

         (f) Mark Schwarz is a United States citizen.

         Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

         As of January 27,  2006,  NP had  invested  $49,120,351  (inclusive  of
brokerage  commissions)  in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.  The source of
these funds was the working capital of NP.

         As  of  January  27,  2006,  NSOF  II  had  invested  $12,450,000  in a
promissory  note that is convertible  into shares of Common Stock of the Issuer,

         As of January 27, 2006, Mark Schwarz had invested  $242,382  (inclusive
of brokerage commissions) in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The source of
these funds was the personal funds of Mr. Schwarz.

         Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

         On January 27, 2006,  each of NSOF I and NSOF II,  pursuant to separate
purchase  agreements entered into with the Issuer (each, a "Purchase  Agreement"
and, together,  the "Purchase  Agreements"),  purchased a promissory note in the
original principal amount of $12,550,000 and $12,450,000,  respectively (each, a
"Note" and, together, the "Notes"), that, subject to the conditions described in
Item 6 herein,  is  convertible  into  9,804,687  shares and  9,726,562  shares,
respectively,  of Common  Stock of the  Issuer,  based  upon  conversion  of the
original  principal amounts of each of the Notes at the initial conversion price
of $1.28 per share.

         Item 5(a)-(b) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

         (a) The aggregate  percentage of shares of Common Stock  reported to be
owned by the  Reporting  Persons is based upon  86,841,791  shares  outstanding,
which is the total number of shares of Common Stock  outstanding  as of November
14, 2005,  plus an aggregate of 19,531,249  shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes, based upon conversion of the original principal amounts
of the Notes at the initial conversion price of $1.28 per share.

         As of  the  filing  date  of  this  statement,  NP  beneficially  owned
67,520,362  shares  of Common  Stock,  representing  approximately  63.5% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

         Subject to the  conditions  described  in Item 6 herein,  NSOF I may be
deemed to  beneficially  own  9,804,687  shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon
conversion of the original  principal amount of its Note, based upon the initial
conversion  price of $1.28 per  share,  representing  approximately  9.2% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

         Subject to the  conditions  described in Item 6 herein,  NSOF II may be
deemed to  beneficially  own  9,726,562  shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon
conversion of the original  principal amount of its Note, based upon the initial
conversion  price of $1.28 per  share,  representing  approximately  9.1% of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

------------------------------                           -----------------------


         NCM, as the  general  partner of each of NP, NSOF I and NSOF II, may be
deemed to beneficially own the 67,520,362 shares, 9,804,687 shares and 9,726,562
shares  of  Common  Stock  beneficially  owned  by  NP,  NSOF  I  and  NSOF  II,
respectively,  representing  approximately  81.8% of the issued and  outstanding
Common Stock of the Issuer.

         NCG,  as the  general  partner  of NCM,  which  in turn is the  general
partner of each of NP,  NSOF I and NSOF II,  may also be deemed to  beneficially
own the 67,520,362 shares, 9,804,687 shares and 9,726,562 shares of Common Stock
beneficially  owned  by  NP,  NSOF I and  NSOF  II,  respectively,  representing
approximately 81.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

         Mark  Schwarz,  as the managing  member of NCG, the general  partner of
NCM, which in turn is the general partner of each of NP, NSOF I and NSOF II, may
also be deemed to beneficially own the 67,520,362  shares,  9,804,687 shares and
9,726,562 shares of Common Stock  beneficially  owned by NP, NSOF I and NSOF II,
respectively,  which,  together  with the  292,925  shares of  Common  Stock Mr.
Schwarz  owns  directly,  represents  approximately  82.1%  of  the  issued  and
outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

         NCM, NCG and Mr. Schwarz disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of
Common Stock  beneficially owned by NP, NSOF I and NSOF II, except to the extent
of their pecuniary interest therein.

         (b) By virtue of his  position  with NP,  NSOF I, NSOF II, NCM and NCG,
Mr. Schwarz has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock
reported in this statement.

         Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:

         There were no  transactions  by the Reporting  Persons in the shares of
Common  Stock during the past 60 days other than the purchase by NSOF I and NSOF
II of the Notes described in Item 6 herein.

         Item 6 is hereby amended to add the following:

         On  January  27,  2006,  each of NSOF I and  NSOF II,  pursuant  to the
Purchase Agreements,  purchased from the Issuer a Note in the original principal
amount of $12,550,000 and $12,450,000,  respectively.  Subject to the conditions
described in the following  paragraph,  the principal of, and accrued but unpaid
interest  on, the Notes are  convertible  into Common Stock of the Issuer at any
time at the  option of NSOF I or NSOF II,  and any  unconverted  portion  of the
Notes will be converted into Common Stock on July 27, 2007, the maturity date of
the Notes. The initial conversion price of the Notes is $1.28 per share, subject
to  customary  anti-dilution  adjustments.  If the Issuer  consummates  a rights
offering  on or before  October  27,  2006 and the price to acquire one share of
Common Stock (or the equivalent  thereof)  pursuant to such rights offering (the
"Rights Offering  Price") is less than the conversion price then in effect,  the
conversion  price  will be reduced  to an amount  equal to the  Rights  Offering
Price.

------------------------------                           -----------------------


         The Purchase  Agreements obligate the Issuer to hold its annual meeting
of  shareholders  no later than May 31,  2006 and to solicit  its  shareholders'
approval at the annual meeting of resolutions  providing for (1) the issuance of
all of the shares of Common Stock upon  conversion of the Notes,  as required by
the rules and regulations of the American Stock  Exchange,  and (2) the increase
in the  Issuer's  authorized  capital  by at least  20,000,000  shares of Common
Stock.  Approval of the former  proposal is a condition  to the  issuance of any
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes,  and approval of the latter
proposal is required to enable the full  conversion of the Notes.  Pursuant to a
voting  agreement  between  NP and each of NSOF I and NSOF II  (each,  a "Voting
Agreement" and, together,  the "Voting  Agreements"),  NP has agreed to vote all
shares of Common  Stock held  beneficially  or of record by it in favor of these
proposals.

         In connection  with NSOF I's and NSOF II's  purchase of the Notes,  the
Issuer,  pursuant to a registration  rights agreement  entered into with each of
NSOF I and NSOF II (each, a "Registration  Rights Agreement" and, together,  the
"Registration  Rights  Agreements"),  granted  NSOF I and NSOF II the  following
registration  rights with  respect to the shares of Common Stock  issuable  upon
conversion of the Notes (the "Registrable Securities"): (1) one right to request
that  the  Issuer  register  all or  part  of the  Registrable  Securities;  (2)
unlimited  "piggyback"  rights to  require  the  Issuer to  include  Registrable
Securities in registration  statements filed by the Issuer; and (3) the right to
cause the  Issuer to file a shelf  registration  statement  covering  all of the
Registrable Securities by January 27, 2009, subject to certain limitations.

         A form of each of the Purchase  Agreement,  the Note, the  Registration
Rights  Agreement and the Voting  Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and
is incorporated herein by reference.

         Other than as described herein,  there are no contracts,  arrangements,
understandings  or  relationships  among the Reporting  Persons,  or between the
Reporting  Persons and any other person,  with respect to the  securities of the
Issuer.
