Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction
 
The Reporting Persons have acquired the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer on the NASDAQ Capital Market for investment purposes.  On March 15, 2010, the Issuer announced that its Board of Directors had authorized a plan for the repurchase of the Issuer's Ordinary Shares in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, in an amount of up to $5 million.  As a result of the Issuer’s repurchase of Ordinary Shares, the Reporting Persons’ beneficial holdings in the Issuer's outstanding share capital increased beyond 5%.
 
Each of the Reporting Persons may further purchase, trade, lend, vote, dispose or otherwise deal in the securities at times and in such manner, including in the market or in private transactions, as they deem advisable in pursuit of such investment purposes to benefit from temporary changes in the market price of such securities, including changes resulting from actual or perceived developments in the Issuer's operations, business strategy or prospects, management, or from the sale or merger of the Issuer, or its subsidiaries. To evaluate such alternatives, the Reporting Persons will perform ongoing analysis of the Issuer's operations, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic position, capital structure, and prevailing market conditions, as well as alternative investment opportunities, and may periodically discuss such matters with the Issuer's management or directors, other shareholders, industry analysts, investment and financing professionals, existing or potential strategic partners, acquirers or competitors, sources of credit or investment banking firms. Such factors, analysis and discussions may result in the Reporting Persons' modifying their ownership of the securities, exchanging information with the Issuer or other persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements and in compliance with applicable law, or holding discussions with third parties or with management in which the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the Issuer's operations, management, board of directors, articles of association, governance or capital structure as a means of enhancing shareholder value.
 
The Reporting Persons reserve the right to formulate plans and/or make proposals, and take such actions with respect to their investment or financing of the Issuer, including subject to applicable law, to (i) hold its securities as a passive investor or as an active investor (whether or not as a member of a “group” with other beneficial owners of securities or otherwise), (ii) acquire beneficial ownership of additional securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, (iii) dispose of all or part of its holdings of securities, (iv) 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 Schedule 13D or (v) change its intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as discussed above, none of the Reporting Persons have any plans or proposals to effect an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, cause a sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, cause any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, cause any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, cause any changes in the Issuer’s articles of association or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, cause a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or  to cease to be authorized to be quoted on an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, cause a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or take any other action similar to any of those enumerated above.
