ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 504,762
shares of Common Stock for a total of $5,451,692.61 using cash from the Funds.
The shares of such Common Stock held by LP and QP are held in margin accounts
which from time to time may incur debit balances. Since other securities are
held in such margin accounts, it is impracticable to determine the amounts, if
any, borrowed with respect to such shares of Common Stock. The cost of borrowing
with respect to such margin accounts fluctuates with the broker loan rate and
the amount of the debit balance.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer based on
their belief that the Issuer's stock is undervalued and represents an attractive
investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons have engaged in the past, and may
wish to continue to engage in the future, in a constructive dialogue with
management of the Issuer ("Management"), as well as with other stockholders of
the Issuer and the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"),
regarding the Issuer's business operations and new strategies to create and
maximize value for the Issuer's stockholders. The Reporting Persons intend to
review continuously their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their
evaluation of the factors described below, one or more of the Reporting Persons
may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of
all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Person, or cease
buying
CUSIP No. 620071100 Page 9 of 13
or selling such securities. Any such additional purchases or sales of securities
of the Issuer may be in the open market or privately negotiated transactions or
otherwise. The factors which the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating
their equity interest in the Issuer's business include the following: (i) the
Issuer's business and prospects; (ii) the business strategy and actions of
Management and the Board of Directors to enhance the Issuer's value to its
stockholders; (iii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of
the Common Stock for purchase at particular price levels; (iv) the availability
and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons' interests; (v)
general economic conditions; (vi) stock market and money market conditions;
(vii) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting
Persons; and (viii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.
Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons
may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this item 4.
Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have at this time any
specific plans which would result in (a) the acquisition of additional
securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) any
extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or
liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or
transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its
subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Management or Board of Directors,
including any plans or proposals to change the number of term of directors or to
fill any existing vacancies on the Board of Directors; (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 change
in the Issuer's charter or by-laws which may impede the acquisition of control
of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Issuer's Common Stock being delisted from a
national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system or a registered national securities association;
(i) causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (j) any action similar to those enumerated
above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 504,762 shares of
the Common Stock of the Issuer, representing approximately 6.1% of such class of
securities. The beneficial ownership of each Reporting Person is as follows: (i)
LP beneficially owns 224,592 shares of the Common Stock, representing
approximately 2.7% of the class, (ii) QP beneficially owns 280,170 shares of the
Common Stock, representing approximately 3.4% of the class, and (iii) Capital,
as the sole general partner of each Fund, and Messrs. Cohen and DeMont, as the
managers of Capital, each beneficially own 504,762 shares of the Common Stock of
the Issuer representing approximately 6.1% of the class. The percentage of the
Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is based on a total of
8,315,455 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of February
10, 2006, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005.

has the shared authority to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock
reported in this joint statement Schedule 13D.
