Item 8.01  Other Events.

The Board will not effectuate a reverse stock split unless the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.  If the Board effectuates a reverse stock split, such reverse stock split will affect all of the Company's stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholders percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the result of such reverse stock split results in any of the Company's stockholders owning a fractional share.  If this occurs, the fractional shares will be rounded up to the next whole share, including fractional shares that are less than one share.

The Company’s stockholders also authorized a reduction in the total number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 150,000,000 shares to 70,000,000 shares.  Such reduction will be conditioned upon effecting a reverse stock split.
