Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This statement is filed by:
(i) Rockwood Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Rockwood
Partners"), with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned directly by it.

(iii) Demeter Asset Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Demeter"),
with respect to the shares of Common Stock also beneficially owned by Rockwood
Partners for which Demeter serves as investment manager. Demeter is in the
business of providing investment management services.
(iv) Jay Buck with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned
by: (a) Demeter, of which Mr. Buck is sole stockholder, President and director;
(b) RAM, of which Mr. Buck is the sole stockholder, President and director. Mr.
Buck is a U.S. citizen who is principally engaged in the business of investing
in securities as a shareholder and executive officer of an investment management

Page 6 of 9 Pages
Item 3: SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The Reporting Persons used approximately $470,470 in the aggregate to purchase
the Securities reported on this statement. Such consideration came from the
assets of Rockwood Partners and not the assets of Demeter, RAM or Mr. Buck. None
of the funds used to purchase the Securities were borrowed funds.
Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Rockwood Partners acquired the Securities reported in this statement in the
ordinary course of business for investment purposes with the goal of capital
appreciation. The Securities are reported by Demeter, RAM and Mr. Buck in the
event that any should be deemed to be a member of a group under Section 13(d)(3)
or the beneficial owner of the Securities under the provisions of subparagraph
(b) of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Beneficial
ownership by Demeter, RAM and Mr. Buck as members of a group or as beneficial
owners is expressly disclaimed, as permitted by Rule 13d-4. Rockwood Partners
may from time to time acquire additional Securities or dispose of all or a
portion of the current holdings of Securities.
The Reporting Persons are engaged in the business of investment management and
pursue an investment philosophy of identifying undervalued situations and
acquiring positions in undervalued companies. In pursuing this investment
philosophy, the Reporting Persons analyze the operations, capital structure and
markets of companies in which the Reporting Persons invest and continuously
monitor the business operations of such companies through analysis of financial
statements and other public documents, and through discussion with knowledgeable
industry observers and with management of such companies.
The Reporting Persons may elect to file securities ownership reports required by
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 on Schedule 13G. The Reporting Persons
routinely use Schedule 13G to report beneficial ownership of securities
purchased. As a result of investment analysis and the occurrence of events, the
Reporting Persons may desire to participate in discussions with management of a
particular company or with third parties about significant matters in which the
Reporting Persons may suggest possible courses of action to assist in building
corporate intrinsic value per share or to cause a company's true economic value
to be recognized. In such situations, the Reporting Persons may initially file
on Schedule 13D or may elect to convert a filing on Schedule 13G to a filing on
Schedule 13D in order to be more freely involved with management and to enter
into discussions with third parties concerning possible strategic alternatives.
On February 15, 2001, the Reporting Persons and management of the Issuer
participated in an informal meeting reviewing publicly available information
concerning the Issuer.
To obtain the necessary flexibility to have discussions with management, other
shareholders and third parties, the Reporting Persons are making this initial
ownership report on Schedule 13D. Depending on such discussions and
consideration of strategic alternatives, the Reporting Persons could support one
or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) below:
Page 7 of 9 Pages
(a) The acquisition by any person 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 or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any
of its subsidiaries;
(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) Changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws 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 to cease to be authorized to be quoted in 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 Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"); or
(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
