Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, as follows: ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER On January 14, 2005, Mr. Hill sold 20,000 shares in an open market sale. On September 30, 2005 the Registrant repurchased from Mr. Hill outstanding, currently exercisable stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Registrant's stock for an aggregate price of $551,000. As a result, the number of shares beneficially owned by Mr. Hill decreased to 346,000 shares (10.2% of the Registrant's Common Stock). All shares beneficially owned by Mr. Hill are shares issuable upon the exercise of options that are either currently exercisable or will become exercisable within the next sixty days. The options are held in the name of the Howard F. and Patricia A. Hill Family Trust. Mr. Hill has the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of those options, and, should he exercise those options and receive shares, the sole power to vote or direct the vote of those shares. Signature After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
