ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENTS

On February 12, 2005, the Company and an investment partnership led by Millennium Technology Value Partners, L.P., a New York-based private equity fund (“Millennium”), Silicon Valley Bank and Morrison & Foerster LLP entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and the solicitation of higher or better proposals for the purchase of such assets or another restructuring of the Company. Under this Purchase Agreement and a related letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) among Millenium, Silicon Valley Bank and Morrison & Foerster LLP (collectively, the “Buyer”), Huron Consulting Services LLC (“Huron”) and the Company, the Buyer will credit bid not less than approximately $5.2 million as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, among other consideration, in exchange for the purchase of the assets, free and clear of any interests in the Company’s assets. The Buyer and Huron hold substantially all of the Company’s secured debt, and Millenium is the lender for the Company’s $2 million debtor-in-possession credit facility. The Purchase Agreement and the Letter Agreement, if consummated, would provide for the satisfaction of substantially all of the secured debt obligations of the Company, and the Buyer is responsible for the costs of curing any assumed contracts at closing. The Purchase Agreement also provides for an additional $250,000 in cash consideration to the Company, and that the purchase price will increase as the underlying debt that is the subject of the credit bid accrues additional amounts. The transaction described in the Purchase Agreement is scheduled to close on or before March 18, 2005. If the transaction has not closed by such date, the Buyer may terminate the Purchase Agreement. In the event that the Company consummates an alternative transaction with a party other than the Buyer, the Purchase Agreement, as modified by order of the Bankruptcy Court, provides that the Buyer may be entitled to a break-up fee in the amount of $150,000. On February 18, 2005, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, the execution of the Purchase Agreement. Copies of the Purchase Agreement, the Letter Agreement and the press release are attached as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5, and 99.1 and are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

ITEM 1.03 BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP

At a hearing held on February 14, 2005 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, the Bankruptcy Court granted final approval for the Company’s debtor-in-possession financing in the amount of up to $2 million (the “Financing”), the agreement (the “Cash Collateral Agreement”) with the Company’s existing bank lender regarding continued access to working capital and the procedures (the “Bidding Procedures”) for interested parties to submit proposals in connection with the Company’s restructuring efforts, including, but not limited to, higher or better proposals to compete with the Purchase Agreement. Specifically, competing proposals must be submitted on or before February 21, 2005 in conjunction with a solicitation conference to occur on February 28, 2005. The Bankruptcy Court has scheduled a hearing for March 11, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. to consider approval of the highest or best proposal.

At this time, the Company cannot predict what values will be ascribed in the cases to claims against or interests in the Company because there are a variety of factors that may affect such values, including, but not limited to, the terms of restructuring proposals that the Company receives and the terms of any reorganization plan that may ultimately be confirmed. Accordingly, the Company urges that appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of its liabilities and/or securities.

The Bankruptcy Court also approved the Company’s request for additional time to submit its schedules of assets and liabilities and statement of financial affairs, for approval of an interim agreement with AT&T Corp. resolving certain disputes and for the rejection of the Company’s Redwood City, California lease, subject to notice to the Company’s landlord at such location.
