Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. -------------------------------------------------- No change. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. ----------------------- Toppan acquired the Issuer's Stock for investment purposes and to develop a relationship of mutual cooperation between Toppan and the Issuer. (a) Toppan may from time to time sell on the open market some or all of the Issuer's stock which it owns. 7
(b) - (j) Not applicable. Toppan has no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions required to be described in subparagraphs (b) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; however, Toppan may, depending upon the factors set forth above, and other considerations, determine to pursue one or more such transactions. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer ------------------------------------ (a)-(b) Toppan owns 1,190,800 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share of the Issuer (the "Issuer Shares"), which constitute approximately 4.9% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Issuer. To the best knowledge of Toppan, none of the directors or executive officers of Toppan listed in Item 2 beneficially own any Common Stock of the Issuer. Toppan has sole power to vote and dispose of all 1,190,800 shares owned by it.

As Toppan now owns less than 5% of the Issuer's Common Stock, this will be the final Form 13D Amendment filing, until such time, if any, as Toppan exceeds the 5% ownership threshold. Item 6.
