On August 31, 2005, C. Kevin Landry resigned as a member of the Registrant’s Board of Directors. On September 1, 2005, the Registrant notified The Nasdaq Stock Market that as a result of the resignation of Mr. Landry, who was a member of the audit committee of the Registrant’s Board of Directors, the audit committee is currently comprised of two members and no longer satisfies the requirement under Rule 4350(d) of the Nasdaq Marketplace rules that the audit committee have at least three members. The rule permits the Registrant a cure period to fill the vacancy until the earlier of the next annual shareholders meeting or one year from the occurrence of the event that caused the failure to comply with this requirement. The Registrant intends to fill the vacancy on the audit committee as promptly as practicable.
