16400 SE Nautilus Drive
Vancouver, Washington 98683
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being jointly filed by each of the following persons pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission) pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act): SCSF Equities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (SCSF Equities), Sun Capital Securities Offshore Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands corporation (Sun Offshore Fund), Sun Capital Securities Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Sun Securities Fund), Sun Capital Securities Advisors, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Sun Advisors), Sun Capital Securities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Sun Capital Securities), Marc J. Leder (Leder) and Rodger R. Krouse (Krouse). Leder and Krouse may each be deemed to control SCSF Equities, Sun Securities Fund and Sun Advisors, as Leder and Krouse each own 50% of the membership interests in Sun Capital Securities, which in turn is the general partner of Sun Advisors, which in turn is the general partner of Sun Securities Fund, which in turn is the managing member of SCSF Equities. Leder and Krouse may each be deemed to control Sun Offshore Fund by virtue of being the only two directors of Sun Offshore Fund. Sun Offshore Fund, in turn, owns a majority of the membership interests of SCSF Equities. SCSF Equities, Sun Offshore Fund, Sun Securities Fund, Sun Advisors, Sun Capital Securities, Leder and Krouse are collectively referred to as the Reporting Persons.
The principal business address of each of the Reporting Persons is 5200 Town Center Circle, Suite 600, Boca Raton, Florida 33486.
SCSF Equities, Sun Offshore Fund, Sun Securities Fund, Sun Advisors and Sun Capital Securities are each principally engaged in making investments. Leder and Krouse are principally engaged in merchant banking and the acquisition and operation of middle market companies.
During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the executive officers or directors of the Reporting Persons, if applicable, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Certain information with respect to the executive officers and directors of the Reporting Persons, if applicable, is set forth on SCHEDULE A attached hereto.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Reporting Persons are all affiliated with Sun Securities Fund and Sun Offshore Fund, which are private equity funds formed for the purpose of making investments in public and private securities. The source of funds is capital committed by the limited partners of these funds, who are not themselves necessarily affiliates of the funds.
The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The shares of Common Stock were acquired as part of the proprietary trading strategy of the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons intend to optimize the value of their investments and, therefore, will review from time to time the Issuers business affairs, financial position, and contractual rights and obligations. Based on such evaluation and review, as well as general economic, industry, and market conditions existing at the time, the Reporting Persons may consider from time to time various alternative courses of action. Such actions may include the acquisition or disposition of Common Stock or other securities through open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, a tender offer, a merger, an exchange offer, or otherwise. As part of monitoring their investments, the Reporting Persons may also, from time to time, seek to meet with and have discussions with the Issuers management and directors and, further, may communicate with other holders of Common Stock to understand their views of the Issuers operating strategy and financial performance. Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)-(b) On July 23, 2008, the Reporting Persons sold shares of Common Stock decreasing the total number of shares owned by the Reporting Persons on such date to 2,728,437 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 8.6% of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially own and have shared power to vote and shared power of disposition over all 2,728,437 shares of Common Stock.
(c) Except for the transactions described herein and in the Schedule 13D, there have been no other transactions in the securities of the Issuer effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days. On July 15, 2008, the Reporting Persons sold 24,300 shares of Common Stock at an average price per share of $5.42.
