thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.
The Registrant is in the process of exploring strategic and financial
alternatives. These explorations include discussions with potential investors,
the Registrant's investors and creditors, and potential strategic partners. The
Registrant is currently soliciting offers from its existing shareholders for
commitments to purchase additional shares of the Registrant's common stock.
Management of the Registrant believes that the outcome of this process is
material to the disclosures contained in the Registrant's Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and expects the situation to be sufficiently resolved within the time
period prescribed by Rule 12b-25 to permit filing of the Registrant's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.
