No. 2 to Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2008, and as amended by Amendment No. 3
to Schedule 13D, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2008, by S. Nicholas Walker, The Lion Fund
Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (LFL), York Lion Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands

the Commonwealth of the Bahamas (YAML), York GP, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company

Inc. (the Issuer). The Schedule 13D, as amended to date, is referred to herein as the
Schedule 13D. S. Nicholas Walker, LFL, Lion L.P., YAML, York GP, and Lion Long Term are
referred to collectively herein as the Reporting Persons.
This Amendment is being filed to update certain information in Items 3, 4, and 5 of the
Schedule 13D. This Amendment amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein; reference
is made to the Schedule 13D for information on the matters not specifically addressed in this
Amendment. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and
effect.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The aggregate purchase price for the additional 22,800 shares of common stock of the Issuer
acquired by LFL since Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D was filed was $8,265.00, inclusive of

commissions. Each of LFL, Lion L.P., and the account(s) under YAMLs management and control
acquired such shares with working capital.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
As reported in Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, Mr.
Walker sent letters to Robert A. Kaiser, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, on February 1,
2008, February 25, 2008, and March 6, 2008, expressing his opposition to the Board of Directors
consideration of abandonment of the Issuers Plan of Dissolution (the Plan), observing
that abandonment of the Plan could have adverse tax consequences to the Issuers stockholders, and
encouraging the Issuer to conform its accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting under
generally accepted accounting principles, given the Issuers stockholders approval of the Plan.
Mr. Walker followed these letters with an additional letter to Mr. Kaiser, dated April 7, 2008, in
which Mr. Walker observed that certain disclosures made in the Issuers annual report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007 confirm

that the Issuer is not discharging its obligations to its stockholders to implement the Plan. The
foregoing summary of the April 7, 2008 letter from Mr. Walker to Mr. Kaiser is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
In addition to pressing the Board of Directors of the Issuer to implement the Plan, the
Reporting Persons may consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of
action with respect to their investment in the Issuer, and each Reporting Person reserves the
right, subject to applicable law, to (i) acquire beneficial ownership of additional shares of the
Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (ii) dispose of all
or part of its holdings of the Issuers shares, (iii) take other actions which could involve one or
more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in Item 4 of this
Amendment, or (iv) change its intentions with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in
this Item 4. The Reporting Persons decisions and actions with respect to such possibilities will
depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the actions of the Issuer, market
activity in the Issuers shares, an evaluation of the Issuer and its prospects, general market and
economic conditions, conditions specifically affecting the Reporting Persons, and other factors
which the Reporting Persons may deem relevant to their investment decisions.
Subject to the foregoing, the Reporting Persons are not aware of any plans or proposals which
the Reporting Persons or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person listed on
Schedule A to the Schedule 13D, may have which relate to or would result in:
|
(i) |
|
The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, or
liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries; |
|
|
(iv) |
|
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; |
|
|
(v) |
|
Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the
Issuer; |
|
|
(vi) |
|
Any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure,
including, but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment
company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which
a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
|
|
(vii) |
|
Changes in the Issuers Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other action
which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; |
|
|
(viii) |
|
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 system of a
registered national securities association; |

EXHIBIT 1
LETTER FROM S. NICHOLAS WALKER TO
ROBERT A. KAISER, DATED APRIL 7, 2008
YORK ASSET
MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Deltec House, Lyford Cay
P.O. Box N-1717
Nassau, Bahamas
(242) 677-4514

April 7, 2008
Robert A. Kaiser
Chief Executive Officer
CLST Holdings, Inc.
15950 North Dallas Parkway
Tower II, Suite 400
Dallas, Texas 75248
Dear Mr. Kaiser:
The disclosures made by the Board of Directors of CLST Holdings, Inc. (the Company)
in the Companys late-filed 2007 10-K report confirm that the Board is not discharging its
obligations to the Companys stockholders to implement the Plan of Dissolution adopted by over 60%
of the stockholders at the March 28, 2007 special meeting. As I stated in my letter to you of
February 1, 2008, the Boards exploration of potential acquisitions is inconsistent with the Plans
mandate that the Company is to limit its activities to the winding up of its business and the
distribution of its assets in accordance with the Plan to the Companys stockholders.
In its 2007 10-K report, the Company reports stockholders equity of $8,863,000 at December
31, 2007, or $0.43 per share based upon 20,553,205 outstanding shares as of February 28, 2008. We
understand that you are directly speaking with certain stockholders of the Company and stating to
them that the stockholders equity, or net asset value, per share of the Company is less than this
figure and less than the current share price of the outstanding shares of the Company of some
$0.37. If you are sharing information that you believe material with certain stockholders, then
the Company should promptly disclose this information to all of its stockholders in a filing made
with the SEC. Moreover, as we pointed out in our prior letters, it appears to us that if the
Company properly presented its financial condition and results of operation as a company in
liquidation under generally accepted accounting principles, then the stockholders equity per share
would exceed the $0.43 figure reported by the Company as of December 31, 2007, by reason of the
elimination of the $14.2mm of tax liabilities as disclosed in the Companys August 31, 2007 10-Q
(page 18).

Moreover, on page 8 of the 10-K report, the Company now discloses that of the $2.10 dividend
per share distributed to the stockholders in 2007, approximately 61% of the distribution should be
considered a taxable dividend. This disclosure is directly contrary to the advice on the tax
consequences of the Companys liquidation set forth on pages 128-129 of the Companys February 21,
2007 proxy statement, and can only be true if the distributions made by the Company in 2007 are not
liquidating distributions. Liquidating distributions they must have been if, as the Board
repeatedly states in the 2007 10-K report, it continues to follow the Plan of Dissolution.
You have ignored my prior three letters to you, including failing to respond to the questions
I put to you in my letter of February 1, 2008, and the Board is ignoring the wishes and mandate of
the Companys stockholders in delaying a final distribution of the Companys remaining liquid
assets and the winding up and dissolution of the Company.
You have publicly stated your position, when you ran for your current position in July 2007,
that the Board of Directors of the Company should pay attention to the desires of its largest
stockholders. As the second largest stockholder of the Company, we would appreciate the courtesy
of your responding to the concerns we have expressed about current managements stewardship of the
Company in this and in our prior letters.
Very truly yours,
/s/ S. Nicholas Walker
