preferred stock for redemption. The redemption date for the preferred
stock is October 19, 2007. Holders of the preferred stock have until the
close of business on October 18, 2007 to convert their shares of
preferred stock into shares of the Company’s
common stock and the Company expects that virtually all of the preferred
stock will be converted by the holders prior to the redemption date.
Currently, the Company has approximately 19.6 million shares of common
stock outstanding, and expects that upon completion of the redemption of
