Section 1—Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 3, 2004, a Consulting Agreement dated March 30, 1998 between the Registrant and Sidney Warshauer, a former owner of the Registrant, was terminated by its terms as the result of Mr. Warshauer’s death. The Registrant will take a one-time non-cash charge to amortization expense in the fourth quarter of 2004 reflecting the write-off of the net unamortized balance of Mr. Warshauer’s covenant not to compete, which will result in a net increase in amortization expense of $0.49 million for the quarter. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004, the Registrant’s obligation to make quarterly cash payments of $0.14 million to Mr. Warshauer will cease, and beginning in 2005 the Company will no longer incur any amortization expense related to this Consulting Agreement.
