SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP NO. 210502 100
The reporting person has previously reported beneficial ownership of
the 646,959 shares of Common Stock ("SFSC'S CPS SHARES") owned by
Stanwich Financial Services Corp. ("SFSC"), because he is the
President, sole director and sole indirect shareholder of SFSC.
However, on May 10, 2004, pursuant to SFSC's plan of reorganization in
its bankruptcy proceeding, a Liquidating Agent was appointed by the
Bankruptcy Court, with complete management authority over the assets
and affairs of SFSC, in place of and to the exclusion of SFSC's
directors, officers and shareholders. After such date, the reporting
person has no direct or indirect corporate governance authority over
SFSC or its assets, including SFSC's CPS Shares. Accordingly, the
reporting person's beneficial ownership of SFSC's CPS Shares
terminated on May 10, 2004.
As of the date hereof, the reporting person has no plan or proposal
which relates to or would result in any of the actions described in
Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except that the reporting person may buy and
sell shares of Common Stock in the future. The reporting person has
pledged 1,002,800 additional shares of Common Stock to Sovereign Bank
to secure the repayment of a loan (the "SOVEREIGN PLEDGE"). Such loan
is past due. The reporting person has also pledged such shares to SFSC
to secure his obligations to SFSC (the "SFSC PLEDGE"). Pursuant to an
Intercreditor Agreement among Sovereign Bank, SFSC and the reporting
person, such shares are expected to be sold after December 31, 2005.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) The reporting person beneficially owns or may be deemed to own an
aggregate of 1,267,860 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (the
"BENEFICIALLY OWNED SHARES"). The Beneficially Owned Shares constitute
5.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of such Common Stock.
(b) Number of shares as to which the reporting person has:
(i) sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 6,738
(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote: -0-
(iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 6,738
(iv) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of: -0-
Of the Beneficially Owned Shares, 207,490 shares are owned by the
reporting person's spouse. He has no voting or dispositive power as to
these shares. The Beneficially Owned Shares include 50,832 shares that
are owned by Stanwich Consulting Corp., f/k/a Stanwich Partners, Inc.
("SCC"). The reporting person is the President, director and the owner
of a majority of the outstanding shares of the voting stock of SCC.
Because of these relationships, for purposes of Regulation 13D, the
reporting person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the
shares of Common Stock owned by SCC and to share with SCC voting and
dispositive powers as to such shares.
(c) No transactions in the Common Stock were effected in the past 60 days
by the reporting person, except for transactions, if any, described in
this filing.
(d) The pledgees under the Sovereign Pledge and the SFSC Pledge (i) have
the right, upon the occurrence of default thereunder, to receive
dividends on the shares of Common Stock pledged thereunder and (ii)
the right to receive the proceeds from the sale of such shares (but,
in each case, not more than the amount of debt secured by such
pledge). A default has occurred under the Sovereign Pledge.
(e) Not applicable
