As a result of the company's failure to satisfy the requirements of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(14), a fifth character "E" was added to the company's trading symbol at the opening of business on August 25, 2005, and the company's securities will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market at the opening of business on September 1, 2005, unless the company appeals the decision of the Nasdaq Staff. The company has until August 31, 2005 to appeal the decision; however, the company does not expect to submit an appeal by this date. The company is continuing to evaluate its strategic alternatives, including the filing of a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The company's shares may become eligible to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board, if a market maker makes an application to register and quote the company's securities in accordance with SEC Rule15c2-11, such application is cleared, and provided further, that the company does not become the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. There can be no assurance that trading on the OTC Bulletin Board will occur.
