Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 1, 2004, the registrant received notice of a lawsuit filed
against it by William C. Vassell, the registrant's Chief Executive Officer, in
the New York Supreme Court for the County of Duchess. According to the summons
received by the registrant, Mr. Vassell is claiming damages for (i) constructive
termination and breach of Mr. Vassell's employment agreement by the registrant
as a result of his suspension by the registrant's board of directors with full
continuing compensation and benefits, pending the results of an independent
investigation and (ii) defamatory publications.
The registrant strongly believes that there is no basis for Mr. Vassell's
claims and intends to continue its independent investigation, as it believes it
is required to do so in accordance with its obligations under applicable federal
securities laws. The registrant further believes that the lawsuit is without
merit and intends to vigorously contest Mr. Vassell's claims.
