Effective July 31, 2006, the Company entered into a merger agreement with TAS Holding, Inc., an entity organized by the holders of approximately 89% of the Company’s common stock, to merge the Company and TAS in a transaction in which the Company’s stockholders, other than the holders of the 89% interest, will receive cash consideration of $4.00 per share in exchange for their outstanding shares. As a result of the contemplated transaction, several of the Company’s financial personnel, including the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer, have recently left the Company. Such persons have not yet been replaced. As a result it has taken longer than anticipated to complete the financial statements and other documentation necessary for the completion of the Form 10-Q. It is anticipated that the Form 10-Q will be filed on Monday, November 20, 2006.
