As a result thereof, the Company’s negotiations toraise additional capital were terminated. The Board of Directors of Recticon and of the Companydetermined that since the Company did not have the financial resources to sustain the anticipatedoperating losses of Recticon and to try to limit the further erosion of Recticon’s assets, themanagement of Recticon was authorized to liquidate the assets of Recticon at the highest possibleprice in the shortest period of time.
