Effective February 8, 2006, the Company expanded its Board of Directors to four members and appointed Ronald Phillips to fill the vacancy created by such expansion.

Neither Mr. Phillips nor any of his affiliates hold any of the Company’s securities. Moreover, during the last two years, neither Mr. Phillips nor any associate or affiliate of Mr. Phillips, has or had a material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will affect the Company.
