Item 5.    Other Events.

On January 10, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a one-for-three reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The reverse split is subject to stockholder approval, which the Company will seek to obtain through the written consent of a majority of each class of outstanding shares. The Company believes that the reverse split will assist the Company creating flexibility to structure future transactions and investments by making more stock available for issuance. Even if the reverse split is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company’s Board of Directors retains the authority to determine whether such reverse split is actually effected as well as the timing of any such split.
