ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.

5.02(b) As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated February
22, 2005, David Edwards, a current director of the Company, informed the
Company's Board of Directors that he would not stand for reelection at the
Company's next Annual Meeting of Stockholders in order to devote more time to
personal and business interests.

         Mr. Edwards informed the Company on May 17, 2005 that, because the
Company is holding the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders later than usual, his
personal and professional commitments would require him to resign as a director
prior to the Annual Meeting. He resigned effective May 17, 2005. There were no
disagreements between Mr. Edwards and the Company or its management.
