As previously disclosed on November 3, 2005, Mr. Robert Haft resigned from the Company's Board of Directors on October 28, 2005. Mr. Haft was one of three members of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. On November 3, 2005, the Company, in accordance with Nasdaq rules, gave the Nasdaq Stock Market notice that the vacancy caused by Mr. Haft's resignation left the Audit Committee with two members, which does not satisfy the requirement of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(d)(2) that a listed company have a three member audit committee, and that the Company would rely on the temporary cure provision of Rule 4350(d)(4)(B) until the vacancy was filled. On November 7, 2005, the Company received notice from Nasdaq noting that the Company did not comply with the requirement to have at least three audit committee members and confirming that the Company could rely on the cure provision of Rule 4350(d)(4)(B) in having only two members of its audit committee for the period provided by such rule, which is the earlier of the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders or one year. The Company anticipates filling the vacancy on the Audit Committee so as to again have a three-member committee in the near future. In accordance with Nasdaq requirements, the Company on November 11 issued a press release concerning this matter, a copy of which is attached. ITEM 9.01.
