As discussed above, the main objective for effecting the Reverse Stock Split, should our Board choose to effect one, would be to increase the per share price of the Common Stock primarily to maintain compliance with the listing standards and policies of the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will remain at a level that will be sufficient to meet any requirements and policies of the Nasdaq Capital Market or that our Common Stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In the event that we are not successful in maintaining the listing of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, we intend to seek a listing on another national securities exchange, which will also require that the per share trading price of our Common Stock be higher than our current per share trading price. In addition, our Board believes that, should the appropriate circumstances arise, effecting the Reverse Stock Split, could, among other things, help us to appeal to a broader range of investors, generate greater investor interest in the Company, and improve the perception of our Common Stock as an investment security.</P>

The Board believes that the availability of additional authorized shares of Common Stock is required for several reasons including, but not limited to, the additional flexibility to issue Common Stock for a variety of general corporate purposes as the Board may determine to be desirable including, without limitation, future financings, investment opportunities, acquisitions, or other distributions and stock splits (including splits effected through the declaration of stock dividends).</P>

If we issue additional shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into shares of our Common Stock in the future, it could dilute the voting rights of existing stockholders and could also dilute earnings per share and book value per share of existing stockholders. The increase in authorized number of Common Stock could also discourage or hinder efforts by other parties to obtain control of the Company, thereby having an anti<FONT CLASS="nobreak">-takeover</FONT> effect.

This process, which is commonly referred to as &#x201c;householding,&#x201d; potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies and intermediaries. A number of brokers and other intermediaries with account holders who are our stockholders may be householding our stockholder materials, including this Proxy Statement. In that event, a single proxy statement, as the case may be, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or other intermediary that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent, which is deemed to be given unless you inform the broker or other intermediary otherwise when you receive or received the original notice of householding. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker or other intermediary to discontinue </P>
