Shareholders are not entitled to receive a recovery under court-approved reorganization plans

The shares were suspended on Nov. 19, 2007 in view of the fact that the Company was previously
notified by NYSE Regulation that it had fallen below the NYSE continued listing standard for an
average closing price of less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading day period. In addition,
NYSE Regulation also considered the "abnormally low" trading level of the common stock, which
closed at $0.12 on November 15, 2007, with a resultant market capitalization of $7.2 million.
Furthermore, the NYSE noted that the Company had also fallen below the NYSE's continued listing
standard for average market capitalization of less than $75 million over a consecutive 30 trading
day period and stockholders' equity of $75 million based on its recently reported results for the
quarter ended September 30, 2007.

The NYSE determined to suspend trading based on the abnormally low pricing levels for
the common stock. The NYSE noted that it may, at any time, suspend a security if it
believes continued dealings in that security on the NYSE are not advisable.
