Item 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
The following information is provided pursuant to Item 12:
| • | On April 30, 2003, the Company released its results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2003. A copy of the press release announcing the results is attached as Exhibit 99.1. |
| • | On May 1, 2003, a company that is indebted to the Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The debtor is not a customer of the Company and the debt arose from a prior relationship. At March 31, 2003, the magnitude of the debt approximates $2 million. The Company’s March 31, 2003 balance sheet includes a reserve for a portion of this amount; however, given the recent events, the reserve will need to be increased. The Company’s Form 10-Q for the first quarter, when filed, will reflect a new reserve amount. |
