Austin ("Austin"), a United States citizen, and El Coronado Holdings, L.L.C. ("ECH"), an Arizona limited liability company whose principal place of business is 12626 Turkey Creek Road, Pearce, Arizona 85625 (Austin and ECH are collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons") to reflect the following amendments to Items 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

ITEM 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is amended to include the following:

The total consideration (exclusive of brokers' commissions) for all shares of Common Stock subject to this Amendment No. 7 is $3,416,580.00.  The additional shares of Common Stock reported in this Amendment No. 7 as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired in the following manner:

1.  On May 15, 2003, in his capacity as Trustee for the Christina Lowery Trust and the Matthew A. Lowery Trust, Austin purchased 500 shares of Common Stock for each trust in the open market for an aggregate consideration (exclusive of brokers' commissions) of $3,780.00.  The primary source of funds for these purchases was Austin's own available funds and the available funds of the Trusts; and

2.  On May 19, 2003, ECH acquired 1,137,600 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement ("Purchase Agreement"), dated as of May 9, 2003, by and among ECH, Patrick E. Malloy, III, Muscular Dystrophy Association, Louis Benzak, John Callaghan, Ted Hartley, Maggie Malloy, Katherine Malloy, Sheldon Appel, Michael Corbett, Neil Rego, Jerry Lushing, Walter G. Goodrich and Robert C. Turnham, each as a buyer, Hambrecht & Quist Guaranty Finance, LLC, Donald M. Campbell, Alps Investments, LLC, Campbell Associates, Donald M.

Spitters (collectively, the "H&Q Parties"), each as a seller, Guaranty Finance Management, LLC, as the representative of the H&Q Parties, and the Company, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference, for an aggregate consideration of $3,412,800.00.  Austin is the sole Managing Member of ECH. The primary source of the funds for this purchase was available funds of ECH.

All dollar amounts are in United States dollars.

ITEM 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is amended to include the following:

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, ECH made an initial purchase of 1,137,600 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share from the H&Q Parties. In addition, ECH has granted each H&Q Party three options to sell ("Put Options") to ECH an aggregate of 1,260,000 of the H&Q Parties' shares of Common Stock. Each Put Option is exercisable for 420,000 shares during one of the three designated periods set forth in the Purchase Agreement beginning on December 29, 2003. In addition, the H&Q Parties have granted to ECH corresponding options to buy ("Call Options") from the H&Q Parties a like number of shares of Common Stock, reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock sold to ECH pursuant to the corresponding Put Option. Each Call Option is exercisable during one of the three designated periods immediately following the corresponding Put Option exercise period, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, beginning on January 6, 2004. The purchase price per share for each Put Option and each Call Option is the greater of (i) $2.05 and (ii) the lesser of 90% of (A) the volume weighted average price for the twenty trading days immediately preceding the exercise period and (B) $4.50. The H&Q Parties may elect to deliver warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in lieu of shares of Common Stock, or any combination thereof. For any warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock that are delivered by the H&Q Parties pursuant to a Put Option or Call Option, the purchase price per warrant will equal the purchase price per share under the above formula minus the per share exercise price of the warrant.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a) Austin is the beneficial owner of 3,547,600 shares (19.7% based on 18,039,482 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 15, 2003, as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 27, 2003) of Common Stock, in his personal capacity, as Trustee for the Austin-Clark Family Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, the Valerie C.

     (b) Austin has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote or to dispose or to direct the disposition of 124,700 shares of Common Stock.
