Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 14, 2004, The Company provided its then current Chief Operating Officer (” Mr. Pierce”) with notice of non-renewal of his employment agreement. As such, July 14, 2004 was Mr. Pierce’s last day of employment with the Company and under the terms of the employment contract no further compensation (including severance) was due. On July 21, 2004, the Company received a letter from Mr. Pierce’s attorney advising that Mr. Pierce is taking the position that the non-renewal of the employment agreement was not timely and, therefore, Mr. Pierce was terminated without cause. Mr. Pierce has demanded severance related payments totaling approximately $300,000. The Company believes that notice of such non-renewal was timely and no severance is due to Mr. Pierce. On July 30, 2004, the Company received notice from Mr. Pierce’s attorney requesting commencement of arbitration to resolve the claim. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses against Mr. Pierce’s claims and has not recorded a liability related to this matter.
