As of April 29, 2008, the Small Cap Funds had invested $12,530,923 (inclusive of brokerage commissions) in shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The source of these funds was the working capital of the Small Cap Funds.
Item 4.  
Purpose of the Transaction
The Small Cap Funds (together with Phil Frohlich and Prescott Capital the “Reporting Persons”) purchased the Common Stock based on the belief that such securities, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Although the Reporting Persons have no specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, consistent with their investment purpose, the Reporting Persons at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations.
The purpose of the acquisition of the Common Stock is for investment, and the acquisitions of the Common Stock were made in the ordinary course of business and were not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Issuer.
Also, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications with one or more shareholders of the Issuer, one or more officers of the Issuer and/or one or more members of the board of directors of the Issuer and/or one or more representatives or regulators of the Issuer regarding the Issuer, including but not limited to its operations. The Reporting Persons may discuss ideas that, if effected, may result in any of the following: the acquisition by persons of additional Common Stock of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer, and/or changes in the board of directors or management of the Issuer.

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, the Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

(a) The aggregate percentage of shares of Common Stock reported to be owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 95,040,731 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding pursuant to the Issuer’s Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2008.
As of April 29, 2008, the Small Cap Funds beneficially owned 6,229,124 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 6.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by the Small Cap Funds except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
(b) By virtue of his position with Prescott Capital and the Small Cap Funds, Phil Frohlich has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Small Cap Funds reported in this Schedule 13D.
The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as admission that Prescott Capital or Mr. Frohlich is for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the 6,229,124 shares of Common Stock owned by the Small Cap Funds. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Prescott Capital and Mr. Frohlich disclaim all such beneficial ownership.
