Item 4.
Ownership:
 
Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2, 3 and 4 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.  This is a voluntary filing, to reflect purchases made by certain investment limited partnerships, including EGP, and other client accounts for which ECM acts as general partner and/or investment manager.
 
ECM acts as general partner and/or investment manager of certain investment partnerships (including EGP).  Collectively, these investment limited partnerships and client accounts are the beneficial owners of: (i) 465,545 shares of the Issuer’s common stock and (ii) warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase up to 840,000 shares of the Issuer’s common stock (subject to the Ownership Limitations described in more detail below).
 
The exercise of the Warrants is subject to restrictions (the “Ownership Limitations”) that prohibit exercise to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder of the Warrants (together with such holder’s affiliates, and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates) would, as a result of such exercise, beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock (including for such purposes the shares of the Issuer’s common stock issued upon such conversion and/or exercise).
 
Based on 12,026,581 shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 1, 2007, as indicated in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2007, the Reporting Persons currently have the right (consistent with the Ownership Limitations) to acquire up to 817,587 shares of the Issuer’s common stock through the exercise of the Warrants.
 
ECM, as those investment limited partnerships’, including EGP, and other client accounts’ general partner and/or investment manager, and Mitchell S. Levine, as managing member and majority owner of ECM, may be deemed to beneficially own the securities owned by such investment limited partnerships, including EGP, and other client accounts (the “Securities”) for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Act, insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.
 
Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that ECM or Mitchell S. Levine is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of ECM and Mitchell S. Levine disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.
 
 

-6-

 
Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Securities.  Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
 
The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in item 11 of pages 2, 3, and 4 was derived from the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2007, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its common stock outstanding as of November 1, 2007 was 12,026,581 shares. In calculating the aforementioned percentages, the reporting persons have additionally included the shares of common stock known by the reporting persons to have been issued in the Private Placement.
 
Item 5.
Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 6.
Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:
 
ECM serves as general partner and/or investment manager to certain investment limited partnerships, including EGP, and other client accounts that have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Issuer’s common stock.  Other than as reported in this Schedule, no investment limited partnerships’ or other clients’ holdings exceed five percent of that common stock.
 
Item 7.
Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company:
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 8.
Identification and Classification of Members of the Group:
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 9.
Notice of Dissolution of Group:
 
Not applicable.
 
Item 10.
Certification:
 
By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.
