Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
The Reporting Persons purchased the Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Shares, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of Shares at prices that would make the purchase of additional Shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of Shares on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
 
On December 30, 2009, the Committee sent a letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) informing the Board that the Committee had been formed in opposition to the Board’s decision to enter into a going-private transaction and merger agreement with Technology Resources Holdings, Inc. and Technology Resources Merger Sub, Inc.  In the letter, the Committee stated its belief that the proposed merger is not in the best interest of the Issuer’s shareholders because the proposed merger consideration is inadequate.  The Committee urged the Board to reconsider its decision to move forward with the merger agreement.  The Committee also announced its intention to solicit against the proposed merger and take such other action as it deemed necessary to protect the interests of all shareholders if the Board continued to move forward with the merger agreement and did not withdraw its proxy materials to solicit shareholder approval.  The Committee also recommended to the Board the immediate addition of new directors.  A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
