During the last five years, neither HP nor, to the best knowledge of HP, any of the persons named on Annex A is or has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

To the best knowledge of HP, other than Sari M. Baldauf, Brian Humphries and Catherine A. Lesjak, each executive officer, director or controlling person of HP is a citizen of the United States.

Item 3.Source and Amount of funds or Other Consideration

On July 25, 2006, HP, Mars Landing Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HP (“Merger Sub”), and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub offered to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Offer”) for $52.00 per share, net to the seller in cash without interest thereon, less any required withholding taxes.  The tender offer expired on November 1, 2006 and an aggregate of 84,985,209 shares of Common Stock were validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing approximately 95.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  On November 6, 2006, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) and the Issuer survived the merger and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HP.  In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock not tendered in the Offer (other than shares held by the Issuer, HP, Merger Sub  or stockholders who properly perfect appraisal rights under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive $52.00 per share, net to the seller in cash without interest thereon, less any required withholding taxes, and each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into one share of Common Stock of the Issuer.  As a result of the Merger, HP holds 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The transaction is valued at approximately $4.5 billion, net of any existing cash and debt.  Merger Sub funded the consideration payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement through HP’s internally available cash.

The Agreement and Plan of Merger is attached to this filing as Exhibit 1 and any references to or descriptions of the Merger and the Merger Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety where such references or descriptions appear.

Item 4:Purpose of Transaction

1.     (a)-(j).  The purpose of the Merger and the Merger Agreement was to enable HP to acquire control of the Issuer and to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.  For a description of the Merger Agreement, see Item 3 above, which description is incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 4.

2.     Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and the Issuer continues as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HP.  As a result of the Merger, all issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock were cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $52.00 in cash, without interest and less any required withholding taxes, and each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into one share of Common Stock of the Issuer.  After the closing of the Merger, HP terminated the listing of the Issuer’s shares in the over-the-counter “pink-sheets” and filed a Form 15 to terminate the Issuer’s registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act.

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Merger, HP has beneficial ownership of 1 share of Common Stock, representing 100% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.  Except as set forth in this Item 5, neither HP nor any other person controlling HP nor, to the best knowledge of HP, any individual named in Annex A to this Schedule 13D, beneficially owns any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

(b)HP has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote of 1 share of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

(c)To the knowledge of HP, no transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock were effected during the past 60 days by the persons named in response to Item 5(a).

(d)To the knowledge of HP, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities of the Issuer.

(e)Not applicable.

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

Except as described above and in Items 3 through 5 of this Statement on Schedule 13D, which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 6, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among HP and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
