  (a)	N/A<br><br>(b)	On April 12, 2006, the Company&#x2019;s Board of Director&#x2019;s approved the termination of Ronald A. Walrod as the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President and accepted his resignation as a director of the Company. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement previously entered into between the Company and Mr. Walrod, as a result of the termination of his employment Mr. Walrod is entitled to receive salary continuation payments for a six month period.<br><br>(c)	On April 12, 2006, the Company&#x2019;s Board of Directors appointed C. Neil Beer, Ph.D., as the Company&#x2019;s Chief Executive Officer and President.  Dr. Beer, age 70, has been a director since July 1988 and was an employee of the Company from May 1991 until November 1992. From April 2002 until April 2006, Dr. Beer has been the Executive Vice President of Computer Technology Associates, Inc. From April 1996 until April 2002, Dr. Beer was the President of SECON, a software and systems engineering company primarily supporting the national intelligence community. He was founder and chairman of the Teller Foundation from September 1989 to June 1996, focused on the applications of science and technology for the "benefit of mankind." From September 1986 to October 1989, he was President and Chief Executive Officer of Thermo Technologies Corporation that develops advanced lasers, optics, signal processing and energy conversion hardware. Previously, he was Deputy for Strategic Defense, Military Applications, at Livermore National Laboratory. During his career with the U.S. Air Force, Dr. Beer achieved the rank of Major General and was Deputy Chief of Staff, Plans and Programs, for the Air Force Space Command. Earlier, while assigned to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, he worked with the White House staff on policy and support requirements. Dr. Beer was associate professor of mathematics at the Air Force Academy and a combat pilot in Southeast Asia. Dr. Beer graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. degree in engineering from the University of Oklahoma and received his doctorate in Operations Research/Mathematical Programming in 1972 from that same University.

  As a result of Dr. Beer&#x2019;s appointment as Chief Executive Officer and President, he no longer meets the definition of an "independent director," as defined by SEC Rules and the Nasdaq Rules, and, therefore, effective as of April 12, 2006 he has resigned as a member of the Company&#x2019;s Audit Committee and its Compensation Committee.  On April 12, 2006, the Board of Directors appointed J. Paul Gilman, Ph.D., as a member of the Audit Committee.  The Board of Directors has determined that Dr. Gilman meets the definition of an independent director under the Nasdaq listing standards and meets the additional criteria for independence by Audit Committee members under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  <br><br>On April 12, 2006, Vernon H. Blackman, Ph.D., resigned as Chairman of the Board and was replaced as Chairman by Charles A. Dickinson, a current member of the Company&#x2019;s Board.  Dr. Blackman also resigned as Chairman of the Compensation Committee and was replaced as Chairman of the Compensation Committee by Mr. Dickinson.  Dr. Blackman will continue as a director of the Company and as a member of the Compensation Committee.  <br><br>Pursuant to the Company&#x2019;s Bylaws, the Board of Directors set the number of directors at six (6) until changed by resolution of the Board of Directors or shareholders.<br>
