On November 2, 2007, the Company filed its amended Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2004 on Form 10-K/A, on June 12, 2009, the Company filed audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 and certain other information as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K, and on February 26, 2010, the Company filed audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and certain other information as exhibits to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company is working to become current in its reporting and to prepare its financial statements for subsequent periods. Due to the work involved in the restatement process and the consequent delay in completing its subsequent financial statements, the Company will not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 by the deadline.
