in connection with the Company's stock offering in 2008. The petition alleges economic loss of approximately $50 million and demands
judgment for unspecified actual and punitive damages together with repayment of legal fees paid of over $484,000. Because the
petition was just filed this week, there can be no assurance of the outcome in the litigation, including whether and in what amount
the Company may recover damages.&nbsp;</P>
