  The closing of the Share purchase under the Purchase Agreement, which was subject to various conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, occurred on February 9, 2007. The Shares acquired were offered and sold in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for “transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering” and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
 
   
 
  On February 9, 2007, Frost Group entered into a Voting Agreement with the Issuer pursuant to which Frost Group agreed to vote its Shares for the election of John Paganelli and Robert Baron as directors of the Issuer. The Voting Agreement continues for a period of three years. The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.
 
   
 
  Frost Group acquired the Shares for investment purposes, in order to obtain a significant holding in a publicly traded company which could serve as a vehicle for acquisitions of or investments in operating companies. Upon the closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Robert Benou and David Lee Spencer resigned from the board of directors of Issuer. On February 9, 2007, as contemplated under the Stock Purchase Agreement, Mr. Steven D. Rubin, Ms. Jane Hsiao. and Mr. Rao Uppaluri were elected directors of Issuer. Each of Messrs. Rubin and Uppaluri and Ms. Hsiao are minority members and officers of Frost Group.
 
   
 
  The Reporting Persons currently plan to promptly propose to the Issuer’s Board of Directors one or more potential acquisition opportunities they have identified, some of which the Reporting Persons have ownership interests in or are affiliated with. The consideration to be issued in connection with any such acquisitions, if not cash, may consist of Shares of Common Stock or preferred stock of Issuer and/or derivative securities of Issuer, in which case, one or more of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates would acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the case of acquisitions of affiliated entities. Any such acquisition would result in a change in the Issuer’s business and may also result in a further change in the composition of or membership on the Issuer’s Board of Directors or in executive management.
 
   
 
  Any of the Reporting Persons may acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company (subject to availability at prices deemed favorable) in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Alternatively, each Reporting Person reserves the right to dispose or cause the disposal of some or all of the Shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in each case subject to applicable securities laws. In addition, each Reporting Person may purchase or sell options on securities of the Company and may have a short position in such securities. The possible activities of the Reporting Persons are subject to change at any time.
 
   
 
  Except as described in this Item 4, the Reporting Persons have no current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events enumerated it subsections (a)-(j) of Item 4.
