ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

Source and Amount of Funds for 259,845 Shares Beneficially Owned by Parent

     Parent has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to 259,845 shares of Issuer common stock, which represents 4.7% of Issuer’s outstanding common stock, excluding options and warrants. These shares were acquired through open market purchases in April, May and August 2005, at share prices ranging from $6.50 to $8.40. All of these shares were purchased with working capital of Parent.

Consideration for Shares Subject to the Voting Agreement

     On August 4, 2006, Parent, Merger Sub, and Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, at the closing, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Issuer (the “Merger”), and each outstanding share of common stock of Issuer (other than shares of common stock held by Parent or Merger Sub, or as to which dissenters’ rights shall have been perfected) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $12.00 per share in cash, without interest. Each outstanding in-the-money option or warrant to purchase Issuer common stock not exercised by the holder thereof as of the closing will be cancelled immediately prior to the Merger in exchange for the right to receive an amount per share in cash equal to $12.00 less the exercise price of the option or warrant.

     Concurrently with, and as a condition to, the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Reporting Persons entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2006, by and among Parent, Merger Sub and John F. Short, Douglas L. Cox, and Kevin P. Croke, in their capacities as stockholders of Issuer. The purpose of the Voting Agreement is to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Messrs. Short, Cox and Croke did not receive any additional consideration from the Reporting Persons as an inducement to enter into the Voting Agreement.

CUSIP NO. 683755102

     The Voting Agreement applies to all securities of Issuer beneficially owned by Messrs. Short, Cox and Croke as of the date of the Voting Agreement or acquired thereafter, including any shares of Issuer common stock issuable upon exercise of options held by such stockholders. Under the Voting Agreement, Messrs. Short, Cox, and Croke have agreed to vote all of their shares of Issuer common stock in favor of approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, against any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the Merger, and against any actions that are intended to, or could reasonably be expected to, impair the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger or otherwise impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the consummation of the Merger. The Voting Agreement also includes the grant of a proxy by such stockholders to certain representatives of Parent to enable Parent to direct the voting of all such shares on the foregoing matters. Under the Voting Agreement, the stockholders are also prohibited from transferring any of Issuer’s securities. Other than with respect to the matters described in, and subject to the limitations set forth in, the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons do not have the right to vote or direct the vote, or to dispose or to direct the disposition of any shares subject thereto.

     The Voting Agreement terminates on the earlier of (i) such date and time as the Merger shall become effective, (ii) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, (iii) the date and time of any amendment to the Merger Agreement that modifies the amount, form or timing of payments of the merger consideration in the Merger in a manner adverse to any stockholder party to the Voting Agreement without the prior written consent of such stockholder, or (iv) such other date and time as may be mutually agreed to by the parties to the Voting Agreement.

     References to, and descriptions of, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement set forth herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement included as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, to this Schedule 13D, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety where such references appear.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     (a) — (b) As described in Item 3 above, this Schedule 13D relates to the Voting Agreement, the purpose of which is to assist the Reporting Persons in consummating the Merger of Issuer and Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

     (c) Not applicable

     (d) Upon consummation of the Merger, the officers and directors of Merger Sub will be the officers and directors of the surviving corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed. The directors and officers of Merger Sub were appointed by Parent and are identified in Item 2 above.

CUSIP NO. 683755102

     (e) Other than as a result of the Merger, not applicable.

     (f) Not applicable.

     (g) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Merger Sub will be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the surviving corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable law.

     (h — i) Upon consummation of the Merger, all shares of common stock of Issuer will be deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market.

     (j) Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons currently have no plans or proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a) — (j) of Schedule 13D, inclusive.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a) — (b) As of August 4, 2006, Parent beneficially owns 259,845 shares of common stock of Issuer. Parent has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to these shares.

     Additionally, under the definition of “beneficial ownership” set forth in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, the Reporting Persons may each be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with respect to (and therefore beneficially own) an additional 804,976 shares of Issuer common stock and Issuer common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options that are subject to the Voting Agreement. As a result, Parent may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,064,821 shares of Issuer common stock, or 18.1% of all outstanding shares of Issuer common stock, and Merger Sub may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 804,976 shares of Issuer common stock, or 13.6% of all outstanding shares of Issuer common stock. The calculations set forth in this Item 5 are based on a total of 5,500,206 outstanding shares of Issuer common stock as of August 2, 2006, as set forth in the Merger Agreement, not including any shares of Issuer common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants or options, other than, with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons, those that are subject to the Voting Agreement. The Reporting Persons are not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Issuer as to the shares subject to the Voting Agreement, and expressly disclaim any beneficial ownership of such shares.

     The Vinod Gupta Revocable Trust beneficially owns 33,000 shares of Issuer common stock, or less than 1.0% of all outstanding shares of Issuer common stock. Vinod Gupta, a director and executive officer of Parent and Merger Sub, has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to (and therefore beneficially owns) these shares.

     (c) Neither the Reporting Persons nor any of their respective directors or executive officers have effected any transaction in Issuer common stock during the past 60 days, except as follows: The Vinod Gupta Revocable Trust sold 5,000 shares of Issuer common stock at a price of $11.55 per share on August 7, 2006; 5,000 shares at a price of $11.57 per share on August 7, 2006; 5,000 shares at $11.59 per share on August 8, 2006; and 7,000 shares at $11.43 per share on August 9, 2006. Each of these sales was an open market transaction effected through a broker.

     (d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends or proceeds from the sale of any shares of Issuer common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons or any of their respective executive officers or directors on the date of this Schedule 13D.

     (e) Not applicable.
