On October 6, 1997, the Registrant filed a voluntary petition for
protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws in the United States
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division pursuant to

The Company plans to liquidate assets and review the claims of its various
