By its 8-K report dated March 21, 2006, the Company reported its purchase of the claims of the two identified creditors of both TOEMTs. The Company reported at that time that, with the purchase of the claims of the only known creditors of both TOEMTs, the Company intended to pursue an end to the litigation brought by the TOEMT liquidator against the Respondents.

On June 27, 2006, Respondents settled the TOEMT litigation. Pursuant to the settlement, the liquidator agreed to discontinue the litigation he has brought against the Respondents and to release any and all claims asserted therein and any and all additional claims that he might have against the Respondents and their affiliates. Respondents agreed to make a final payment to the liquidator of £225,000 (at current exchange rates, approximately $409,000).

As part of the settlement, the TOEMT liquidator has withdrawn his claims against the one acknowledged creditor of TOEMT (UK) — MKB Bank Rt. (“MKB”). With the withdrawal of his claims against MKB, MKB has agreed to a cancellation of the guarantee issued by CNV in favor of MKB in the amount $435,000.

The liquidator of the two TOEMTs “discontinued” (i.e., dismissed) the proceedings brought by him against the Respondents by his notices of discontinuance filed with the High Court of Justice on June 27, 2006.

Under the settlement, the liquidator agrees to proceed with the orderly and prompt closure of the liquidations of the two TOEMTs.
