Item 5. Other Events.
On May 25, 2004, the Registrant paid in full a promissory note in the amount of $3,750,000 plus interest of $226,455 to Russell A. Whitney, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The transaction, which was approved by the Registrant's independent directors, was determined to be in the best interests of the Registrant because the Registrant currently has significant cash reserves upon which it is earning a yield of less than 2% per annum while previously obligated to pay an interest rate on the promissory notes to Mr. Whitney in the amount of 7% per annum. The payoff of the promissory note would otherwise be due over a five year period terminating in 2009.
