ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
We have recently become aware of a formal order of investigation issued by
the SEC in connection with an inquiry pursuant to which the Staff of the SEC has
requested additional information from us and several of our officers, directors
and team members. We, along with those individuals, are in the process of
responding to SEC subpoenas. We intend to cooperate fully with this inquiry.
Prior to this formal inquiry, we voluntarily furnished information to the SEC.
We believe that this inquiry resulted from our March 11, 2003 press release
concerning our anticipated fourth quarter 2003 results and trading in Black Box
securities occurring prior thereto.
