ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
The Reporting Person acquired the Securities in connection with the Share
Exchange and the Offering. The Reporting Person presently considers the
Securities an attractive investment and intends to review his investment on an
ongoing basis. Such continuing review may result in the Reporting Person
acquiring additional Securities in the open-market or in privately negotiated
transactions, maintaining his holdings at current levels or selling all or a
portion of his holdings in the open-market or in privately negotiated
transactions. Any such actions the Reporting Person undertakes will be dependent
upon, among other things, the availability of shares of Common Stock for
purchase and the price levels of such shares; general market and economic
conditions; on-going evaluation of the Registrant's business, financial
condition, operations and prospects; the relative attractiveness of alternative
business and investment opportunities; the availability of funds for the
purchase of additional shares of Common Stock; the actions of the management and
Board of Directors of the Registrant; and other future developments. Although
the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Person
with respect to the Registrant the foregoing is subject to change at any time.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person has no present plans or
intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described
in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE REGISTRANT.

November 18, 2004, pursuant to the Form 8K filed with the Securities Exchange
Commission on November 18, 2004).
