(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
As previously reported, the Company restated its annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2003 and its quarterly financial statements for 2003 and the first three quarters of 2004. The time, effort and expense involved in determining the related adjustments to the Company’s historical financial statements and to allow sufficient time for the Company to reflect these restatements and the related disclosure in its consolidated financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and other items to be included in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2005, and to provide for the necessary review of this information has resulted in a delay in filing its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, including the report for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. For a discussion of the restatements, please refer to the Company’s press release issued April 28, 2005 announcing financial results for the year ended December 31, 2004 as well as Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed on August 15, 2005.
In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company experienced unanticipated personnel turnover in its accounting staff responsible for external reporting functions. The Company engaged outside consultants with considerable experience in accounting and SEC reporting at the end of October 2005 to assist in the preparation and filing of required SEC filings. The restructuring and training of the Company’s internal accounting staff has also contributed to the delay in reporting.
