Item 8.01. -- Other Events

Effective  October 23, 2000, the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "SEC")
adopted new rules related to insider trading. One of these rules, Rule 10b5-1 of
the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),  provides an
exemption to the insider  trading rules in the form of an  affirmative  defense.
Rule 10b5-1  recognizes the creation of formal  programs under which  executives
and other  insiders may sell the  securities of publicly  traded  companies on a
regular basis pursuant to written plans that are entered into at a time when the
plan  participants  are not aware of material  non-public  information  and that
otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1.

On March 17, 2006, Andre  Dimitriadis,  Chairman and Chief Executive  Officer of
the Company,  entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan with a  broker-dealer  firm.
Under the Sales Plan,  the  broker-dealer  is  authorized  to sell up to 200,000
shares of the  Company's  common  stock  pursuant to the terms of the Sales Plan
over a period  commencing on April 5, 2006 and extending through August 17, 2006
or all such  shares  are sold,  unless  the  Sales  Plan is  terminated  earlier
pursuant to its terms.  Under the Sales Plan,  no more than 10,000 shares may be
sold in any one week.

Reports  of the  details  of  actual  sales  under the plan will be filed by Mr.
Dimitriadis on Form 4 in accordance with SEC regulations.




                                    SIGNATURE


Pursuant to the  requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  the  Registrant  has duly  caused  this report to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
