    On March 29, 2005, the Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer 
unanimously approved resolutions to withdraw the Security from listing 
on Amex. The Board stated that the following reasons factored into its 
decision to withdraw the Security from Amex: (i) The Issuer's ability 
to continued to comply with its plan, submitted to and accepted by 
Amex, to regain compliance with Amex's continued listing standards with 
respect to stockholders' equity; (ii) the Board's understanding that 
its current principal market maker will act to continue to make a 
market in the Security on the over-the-counter bulletin board; and 
(iii) the Board's determination that such withdrawal is in the best 
interest of the Issuer and its shareholders.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the state of Georgia, in which it is incorporated, and by 
providing written notice of withdrawal to Amex.
    The Issuer's application relates solely to withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on Amex and from registration under Section 12(b) 
of the Act,\3\ and shall not affect its obligation to be registered 
under Section 12(g) of the Act.\4\
