ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
The Company has been notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") of
Nasdaq's determination that the Company is not in compliance with the net
tangible assets requirement or the alternative $5.00 minimum closing bid price
requirement for continued listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq National
Market. The Company has requested a Nasdaq hearing regarding these compliance
issues, which request temporarily stays delisting of the common stock. There can
be no assurance that the hearing will result in continued listing of the common
stock on the Nasdaq National Market. If unsuccessful, the Company intends to
request that the common stock be listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Delisting
of the common stock from Nasdaq could have a material adverse affect on the
market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, the Company's
common stock.
