Only holders of record of the Company's stock as of the close of business on the record date will be eligible to participate in the rights offering. Generally, stock transactions settle on the third day following the date of the transaction, so the last day to purchase the Company's common stock to be a stockholder of record and qualify for the rights offering will be Friday, June 1, 2007. The Company has decided to hold the rights offering open until 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, July 12, 2007 (unless extended), after which the rights will expire.

The rights offering is being made to offer the Company's common stockholders an opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock at the same price per share paid by Richard P. Kiphart, Christopher W. Capps, and other members of the board of directors in the $6.5 million capital raise completed in October 2006, which proceeds have been used for working capital and to recapitalize re·cap·i·tal·ize
