Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
     As reported in Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, Mr. Walker sent letters to Robert A. Kaiser, the Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, on February 1, 2008 and February 25, 2008, expressing his opposition to the Board of Director’s consideration of abandonment of the Issuer’s Plan of Dissolution (the “Plan”) and observing that abandonment of the Plan could have adverse tax consequences to the Issuer’s stockholders. Mr. Walker followed these letters with an additional letter to Mr. Kaiser, dated March 6, 2008, in which Mr. Walker expressed his disappointment with the Issuer’s failure to file its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2007 in a timely fashion and encouraged the Issuer to conform its accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles, given the Issuer’s stockholders approval of the Plan. The foregoing summary of the March 6, 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 Issuer’s 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

Dear Mr. Kaiser:
          We are extremely disappointed in the failure by CLST Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to file in a timely fashion its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2007. This failure, noticed by the Company’s Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, does not reflect well on the stewardship of the Company under its new Board of Directors.
          As we have previously informed you, we hope and expect that the Board will adhere to the Plan of Dissolution adopted by the stockholders at the special meeting held March 28, 2007, a Plan of Dissolution enthusiastically endorsed by you. In this connection, I encourage the Company to conform its accounting to the liquidation basis of accounting under generally accepted accounting principles, given that the stockholders have approved the Company’s dissolution and liquidation. As you undoubtedly know, under the liquidation basis of accounting, a company in liquidation is required to accrue the estimated costs of liquidation and to report those costs to its stockholders.
          It would also appear that the Company will realize a significant tax benefit by pursuing, in accordance with its stockholders’ wishes, the Company’s liquidation. As disclosed in the Company’s August 31, 2007 10-Q (page 18), the Company includes, in accounts payable at August 31, 2007, approximately $14.2 million associated with liabilities from which it expects to be absolved in its liquidation and with respect to which the Company anticipates utilizing net operating loss carryforwards to offset any tax liability associated with this debt relief. Abandoning the Company’s liquidation could impair this benefit.

          While the Company has, in its 2006 annual report and its 2007 quarterly reports, reported its disposed businesses as discontinued operations, it has not, to our understanding, adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. Given the stockholders’ adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company should do so and report its results of operation and its financial condition to its stockholders consistently therewith.
Very truly yours,
/s/ S. Nicholas Walker
