The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting

on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at
such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would
relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j)
of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon
completion of any of the actions discussed above. Steel Partners II intends to
review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and engage in
discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer concerning
the business, operations and future plans of the Issuer. Depending on various
factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and
investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the
securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, Steel Partners
II may in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the
Issuer as it deems appropriate including, without limitation, seeking Board
representation, making proposals to the Issuer concerning the capitalization and
operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares or selling some or all of
its Shares or changing its intention with respect to any and all matters
referred to in Item 4.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person

and Exchange Commission on November 12, 2003.
