Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

As of November 13, 2009, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 691,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.  These purchases have occurred from time to time since 1990 and were for aggregate consideration of approximately $26 million.  For LPWC, LWC and Jasteka, the source of funds was their working capital; Mr. Karp used his personal funds for such purchases.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock to provide a significant equity investment in the Issuer.  At the present time, but subject to the Reporting Persons’ continuing evaluation of the factors noted below, it is intended that the Reporting Persons will retain the shares and purchase additional shares in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.  Mr. Karp anticipates meeting with management of the Issuer from time to time to discuss the Issuer’s management and operations.

 

Whether the Reporting Persons purchase any additional shares, and the amount and timing of any such purchases, will depend on the Reporting Persons’ continuing assessment of pertinent factors, including without limitation, the following:  (i) the availability of shares for purchase at particular price levels, (ii) the Issuer’s and the Reporting Persons’ business and prospects, (iii) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, (iv) general economic and industry conditions, (v) stock market and money market conditions, (vi) the attitude and actions of the management and Board of Directors of the Issuer, (vii) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons’ interest, and (viii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.  Depending on their assessment of these factors from time to time, the Reporting Persons may change their present intention as stated above, including by possibly determining to dispose of some or all of the shares held by them.

 

Except as stated above, neither the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the executive officers or directors of the Reporting Persons, has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (i) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (v) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (vi) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, (vii) changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (viii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange, (ix) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section
