Report on Repricing of Options. On November 17, 1999, Shane Murphy, as the
sole director of the Company, made the decision to reprice the "underwater"
stock options granted to him. Mr. Murphy's rationale for repricing his options
was that because his options were "underwater" he would not realize the benefit
originally conferred. In addition, Mr. Murphy believed the repricing was
appropriate to continue to incentivize him as an employee and director of the
Company. Other than the repricing of Mr. Murphy's stock options, no stock
options of the Company were repriced during the last ten completed fiscal years.
