Section 3-Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.01- Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

     On April 21, 2005 we received notice from the staff of the American Stock Exchange indicating that we do not meet certain of the Exchange’s continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the AMEX Company Guide in that we have shareholders equity of less than $6,000,000 and have incurred losses during the last five fiscal years. Accordingly, the staff of the Exchange determined to proceed with the filing of an application to the Securities and Exchange Commission under Securities Exchange Act Rule 12d-2 to delist our common shares and warrants from the Exchange.

     We appealed this determination to the Exchange’s Committee on Securities. However, on June 29, 2005 we were notified that the Committee on Securities has determined to uphold the Exchange’s staff determination and to proceed with the delisting of our common shares and warrants.

     Our shares and warrants will not be listed or traded on the AMEX after July 14, 2005 but will be eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board maintained by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. We will announce the new trading symbols for our common shares and warrants as soon as practicable.
