On November 1, 2004, the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Issuer approved resolutions on November 1, 2005 to withdraw the Security from listing on BSE. The Issuer stated that the following reason factored into the Board's decision to withdraw the Security from BSE: (1) The Issuer was recently delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market, and as a result, BSE suspended trading in the Security on October 26, 2005; (2) the Issuer does not believe it will be able to comply with BSE's requirement to have an audit committee composed of at least three independent board members; and (3) in order to reduce costs, the Issuer expects to terminate its obligations to file reports with the Commission or otherwise be subjected to the Act through filing of Form 15 with the Commission.
The Issuer stated in its application that it has complied with Rule 12d-2-2(d) under the Act3by complying with all applicable laws in the State of Delaware, the state in which the Issuer is incorporated, and by providing BSE with the required documents governing the withdrawal of securities from listing and registration on BSE. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the Security from listing on BSE and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Act.4
