Item 8.01. Other Matters.

On August 17, 2005, the Board of Directors of the registrant approved a plan to reclassify a portion of its common stock. The transaction will provide for the reclassification of shares of the registrant’s common stock held by shareholders who are the record holders of 1,000 or fewer shares into shares of preferred stock to be issued on the basis of one share of preferred stock for each share of common stock held by such shareholders. The transaction is designed to enable the registrant to terminate its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The transaction requires the approval by shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding common stock of the registrant. Before the end of the year, the registrant intends to hold a special meeting of shareholders for the shareholders to vote on the transaction.
