D. Carlson resigned from our Board of Directors and as a member of the Audit
Committee. On December&nbsp;12, 2008, we notified the staff of the NASDAQ Stock

of Directors and Audit Committee, we no longer complied with the requirements
set forth in NASDAQ&#8217;s Marketplace Rule&nbsp;4350 that the board of
directors be comprised of a majority of independent directors and the audit
committee composition requirement that the audit committee be comprised of at
least three independent directors.

<P style="font-size: 10pt" align="left">On December&nbsp;15, 2008, we received
a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company no longer complied with
Nasdaq&#8217;s independent director and audit committee requirements as set

Rules&nbsp;4350(c)(1) and 4350(d)(4), Nasdaq has provided the Company a cure
period in order to regain compliance until the earlier of the Company&#8217;s
next annual shareholders&#8217; meeting or December&nbsp;11, 2009. If our next
annual shareholders&#8217; meeting is held before June&nbsp;9, 2009, then we
must evidence compliance by June&nbsp;9, 2009. We have initiated a search for a
successor candidate and expect to appoint a member to the Board of Directors to
fill this vacancy within the cure period.
