Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Cash payments received by a holder of Common Stock pursuant to the 1:10 Reverse Stock Split may be subject to information reporting and may also be subject to backup withholding at the applicable rate specified by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (currently 24%) if the holder fails to comply with certain certification procedures or otherwise establish an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional U.S. Federal income tax. Rather, the U.S. Federal income tax liability of the person subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of the tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained provided that the required information is timely furnished to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

#### Accounting Consequences
Following the 1:10 Effective Date of the 1:10 Reverse Stock Split, if any, the net income or loss and net book value per share will be increased because there will be fewer shares outstanding. We do not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the 1:10 Reverse Stock Split.
