Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 11, 2007, the Company issued a press release, which is further
referenced in Item 2.02 of this report. In that press release, the Company
announced that it had filed that day its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30,
2007 with the SEC. Previously, the Company had reported that it had received a
letter from the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") indicating that the Company was
not in compliance with Sections 134 and 1101 of the AMEX Company Guide due to

stated that, by filing its Form 10-Q, it expects to be in compliance with those

hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
