20147-2358.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
(a) This Statement is being filed by Grand Slam Capital Master Fund,
Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Master Fund"). Master Fund was formed
for the purpose of acquiring and managing assets. This Statement is also being
filed by Grand Slam Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
("Asset Management", together with Master Fund, the "Reporting Parties), for and
on behalf of itself, which serves as the investment advisor of Master Fund. As

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The funds for the purchase of the shares of Preferred Stock set forth on Exhibit

aggregate amount of funds used in making the purchases of the Shares in the
sixty days prior to the date upon which the Reporting Parties reporting
requirement arose is $1,979,869.01.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Reporting Parties have acquired the Shares, as described in this
Statement, in order to obtain a substantial equity position in the Issuer based
on the Reporting Parties' belief that the Preferred Stock at current market
prices is undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity.
Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities
available to the Reporting Parties, and the availability of shares of Preferred
Stock at prices that would make the purchase of additional shares desirable, the
Reporting Parties may endeavor to increase their position in the Issuer through,
among other things, the purchase of shares of Preferred Stock on the open market
or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the
Reporting Parties may deem advisable. Asset Management anticipates that, from
time to time, it may communicate with the Issuer regarding its business and
strategic opportunities and identify to the Issuer strategic opportunities and
alternatives to be considered by the Issuer. Asset Management may also propose,
propose to arrange, or identify to the Issuer sources of capital.
Other than as set forth herein, neither of the Reporting Parties, nor
any of the individuals set forth on Exhibits A or B has any plans or proposals
that relate to or would result in any of the following:
(a) The acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer;
(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer;
(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer;
Page 5
(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of
the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
policy of the Issuer;
(f) Any other material change in the Issuer's business or
corporate structure;
(g) Any other material changes in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or
instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;
(h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted
from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted on
an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities
association;
(i) A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange
Act; or
(j) Any action similar to those enumerated above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) The Reporting Parties beneficially own an aggregate of Shares
representing approximately 5.16% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock of the Issuer. The percentage ownership of the Reporting Parties
in the Issuer's capital stock is based on 3,185,586 issued and outstanding
shares of the Preferred Stock as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, filed with the SEC. The

Stock. Since Asset Management may be deemed to control, directly or indirectly,

Act, to beneficially own the shares of Preferred Stock held by Master Fund.
