ITEM 5 -- OTHER EVENTS
The American Stock Exchange informed the Company that it does not currently
meet its continued listing guidelines, and therefore will remove the Company's
common stock from listing and registration. The Company had previously reported
it had fallen below those guidelines and was under review for continued
listing. The Company is seeking the assignment of the appropriate symbol which
will allow the common stock to trade on the electronic bulletin board.
