Demers, a United States citizen (Demers), and Margaret Price Findlay, a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago (Findlay), are the directors of Brean.

Item 3. |
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
As described in Item 5(c) below, Brean acquired the 37,066 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $146,518.19 and financed the purchase through cash on hand.
The information related to the transfer of the Common Stock previously owned by Evansville describe in Item 2 above is incorporated herein by reference. |

Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction |
The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for general investment purposes. The Reporting Persons will continuously evaluate their ownership of Common Stock and the Issuers business and industry. Depending on market conditions and other factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment decision, including the availability of other investment opportunities, each Reporting Person may from time to time acquire additional shares of Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions or dispose of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock that such Reporting Person now owns or may hereafter acquire.
The Reporting Persons intend to, along with other shareholders of the Issuer, nominate an alternative slate of directors for election to the Issuers Board of Directors at the earliest possible opportunity.
Without limitation of the foregoing (and consistent with their investment purpose), the Reporting Persons will continue to consider alternative courses of action and will in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate in light of the circumstances existing from time to time. Such actions, in addition to that discussed above, may include making recommendations to members of management concerning various business strategies, acquisitions, policies, seeking to acquire control of the Issuer through a merger, proxy solicitation, tender offer, significant equity investment, exchange offer or otherwise, or such other actions as the Reporting Persons may deem appropriate.
The Reporting Persons intention as described above would result in a change in the present board of directors of the Issuer. |
|
|
|
Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
(a) As of October 30, 2008, each Reporting Person beneficially owns the following number of shares of Common Stock (all computations of the percentage of outstanding Common Stock set forth herein are based on a total of 3,090,838 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 2, 2008 as reported in the Issuers proxy statement for its 2008 annual meeting of shareholders, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 3, 2008): |

(b) Brean is deemed to solely have the power to vote or direct the vote of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, the Common Stock beneficially owned by Brean. Because of their relationship to Brean as identified in Item 2 above, each of Q Management, as Trustee of PQ II, and Q Management, as Trustee of PQ III, Vicali, Demers, Findlay, Q Management and Quasha share voting and dispositive power with regard to the Common Stock owned by Brean and, therefore, may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Common Stock owned by Brean.
(c) As identified in Item 2 above, prior to the filing of this Statement, Evansville, who reported beneficial ownership of 428,625 shares of Common Stock, ceased to beneficially own such shares and all beneficial interest of every kind and nature in the Common Stock was acquired by Brean as part of a corporate restructuring. Such shares acquired by Brean were reported on Schedule 13G, and amendments thereto, by Evansville, who is the record holder of the Common Stock; however, Evansville had no beneficial ownership over such shares.
