Re:      Voting at Shareholder Meeting, Thursday, November 11, 2004


Gentlemen:

                  While we are pleased the Company has appointed an outside
director to represent significant institutional and other non-management
shareholder investors, we remain concerned about management's responsiveness to
such shareholders, ourselves included.

                  Accordingly, we enclose Proxy cards indicating our support FOR
Mr. Elliot Levine, the new investor representative, but AGAINST the incumbent
directors standing for re-election. A careful reading of the Company's proxy
card indicates that we can accomplish this objective by putting a LINE THROUGH
the names of each of Messrs. Palmedo, Maroney and Macklin, which we have done on
the enclosed proxy cards. We have indicated on our proxy to ABSTAIN from
Proposal 2, relating to the ratification of the selection of the auditors.

                  Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a solicitation
of a proxy; indeed, as no alternatives are presented, our voting as indicated
serves to note our concern.

                                Very truly yours,


EVEREST SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUND L.P.                 KELLOGG CAPITAL GROUP, LLC
