EXPLANATORY NOTE
The Company is amending Item 13 of Part III of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Form 10-K”) to add a statement to the Form 10-K confirming the Company’s status as a “controlled company” for purposes of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
The Form 10-K as amended hereby continues to speak as of the date of the Form 10-K and the disclosures have not been updated to speak as of any later date. Any items in this Form 10-K/A that are not expressly changed hereby shall be as set forth in the Form 10-K. All information contained in this Amendment No. 1 and the Form 10- K is subject to updating and supplementing as provided in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K.
Pursuant to SEC Rule 12b-15, in connection with this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, the Company is filing updated Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1, and 32.2.
 
ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The information required by this Item, relating to transactions with management and others, certain business relationships and indebtedness of management, is set forth in the Company’s Proxy Statement to be used in connection with the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, under the headings “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions”, which pages are incorporated herein by reference.
Due to an exemption as a “Controlled Company” under NASDAQ Rules, we are not required to meet NASDAQ independence standards for our Board of Directors. NASDAQ Rules define a “Controlled Company” as one in which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company. As shown in the stock ownership table included in the Company’s proxy statement, through the ownership of Class A and Class B common stock, the Daniel M. Tabas Trust and Evelyn R. Tabas control more than 50% of the voting power of the Company.
ITEM 15.   EXHIBITS, FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES
  (a)(3)   The following Exhibits are filed herewith as a part of this amendment to report:
