Item 5. Other Events
On June 4, 2001, a United States Middle District Judge, Orlando Division,
dismissed a shareholders' lawsuit filed against Registrant in 1999 after the
decline in the market price of Registrant's common stock on the Nasdaq Stock
Exchange. The judge dismissed Plaintiff's case for failure to comply with Orders
of the Court to show cause. Plaintiffs failed to file certain documents required
by the court, and then failed to respond to the court's order to show cause why
the action should not be dismissed after the initial documents were not filed.
Plaintiffs had until June 21, 2001 to file a motion for the judge to reconsider
or grant relief from her ruling and until July 5, 2001 to appeal the order. The
Plaintiffs on July 3 filed a motion to reopen the case, in reliance on Rule
60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. On August 2, 2001 the judge
denied the motion, and the case remains closed.
