ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
On January 28, 2005 we received a request from the Securities and Exchange Commission for information with respect to a $15 million PIPES transaction we completed on April 5, 2002 in connection with an inquiry being conducted by the Commission. Although the request for information identifies certain parties other than the Company, the Commission has not advised us as to either the nature of the inquiry or its scope. The Commission has advised us that the inquiry is confidential and the request for information should not be construed as an indication by the Commission or its staff that any violations of law have occurred, or as a reflection upon any person, entity or security.
We intend to cooperate voluntarily with this request for information from the Commission. We can neither predict the nature, length, scope, or results of the inquiry of which this request is a part nor its impact, if any, on us or our operations.
