Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
(a)
The Bradley FLP owns, in the aggregate, 4,310,813 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 25.9%, of the 16,656,519 issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock (the “Outstanding Common Stock”).
Mr. Bradley individually owns 245,477 shares of the Common Stock. He is the president, sole director and a shareholder of Hanna Investment Corp. (“Hanna”) and, therefore, may be deemed to beneficially own the 100,000 shares of the Common Stock held by Hanna. Mr. Bradley also holds currently exercisable employee stock options to purchase 66,666 shares of Common Stock and an employee stock to purchase 33,333 shares of Common Stock that will become exercisable on December 1, 2005. Accordingly, Mr. Bradley may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 445,476 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 2.7% of the sum of (1) Outstanding Common Stock plus (2) the shares of Common Stock subject to the options referred to in the preceding sentence. Mr. Bradley and his wife own limited partnership interests of, respectively, 28% and 1% in the Bradley FLP. However, because they have no voting or dispositive powers with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by the Bradley FLP, Mr. Bradley disclaims any beneficial ownership interest in such shares, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr. K. Bradley individually owns 1,858,989 shares of Common Stock. He is the general partner of the Bradley FLP, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,310,813 shares of Common Stock held by the Bradley FLP. Mr. K. Bradley also holds currently exercisable employee stock options to purchase a total of 233,332 shares of Common Stock and an employee stock option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock that will become exercisable on December 1, 2005. Accordingly, Mr. K. Bradley may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 6,503,134 shares of Common Stock of Reunion, or approximately 38.5% of the sum of (1) Outstanding Common Stock plus (2) the shares of Common Stock subject to the options referred to in the preceding sentence.
In addition to the options referred to above, Mr. K. Bradley and Mr. Bradley hold employee stock options to purchase, respectively, 266,668 and 100,001 shares of Common Stock. However, because such options are not exercisable currently or within 60 days of the date of this Amendment No. 5, the shares subject to such options are not included in the beneficial ownership reported herein.
 
(b)
Subject to Items 5(d) and 6, below, the Bradley FLP and Mr. K. Bradley may be deemed to share the power to dispose of and to vote the 4,310,813 shares of Common Stock held by the Bradley FLP. The Bradley FLP’s power to dispose of and to vote these shares is based upon its record ownership of these shares. Mr. K. Bradley’s power to direct the disposition of and to vote these shares is based upon his right as general partner of the Bradley FLP to manage the business and affairs of the Bradley FLP.
Mr. Bradley may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose of the 100,000 shares of Common Stock held by Hanna, based upon his relationships as an officer, director and shareholder of Hanna.
Mr. Bradley has the sole power to vote and the sole power to dispose of 345,476 of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him, based upon his record ownership of such shares, subject to the qualification that 99,999 of such shares, being subject to unexercised options, are not currently outstanding.
Mr. K. Bradley has the sole power to vote and dispose of 2,192,321 of the shares of Common Stock of Reunion beneficially owned by him, based upon his record ownership of such shares, subject to the qualification that 333,332 of such shares, being subject to unexercised options, are not currently outstanding.
   
(c)
There were no transactions in the Common Stock by or involving the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.
   
(d)
Pursuant to the Securities Pledge Agreement dated as of May 1, 1993 (the “U.S. Bank Pledge Agreement”) among the Bradley FLP, the John Grier Family Limited Partnership, and U.S. Bank National Association, as successor Collateral Agent to State Street Bank and Trust Company and the First National Bank of Boston (the “Collateral Agent”), the Bradley FLP pledged 4,145,247 shares of the Common Stock to secure the obligations of Reunion under the Indenture, dated as of May 1, 1993, as amended, between Reunion and the Collateral Agent, as Trustee, relating to certain Senior Notes issued by Reunion in 1993 ( the “Indenture”).
