<P style="margin:0px">The Company has also announced the voluntary resignation of two directors, Fred Olson and David Brown, effective immediately. &nbsp;Along with Louis M. Haynie, Henry D. Moyle, Frank Dosal, Wesley Sprunk, Steve Hanni and Gary N. Benninger, Mr. Olson and Mr. Brown were recently elected to the Board of Directors at the Company&#146;s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on December 5, 2008 in Henderson, Nevada. &nbsp;However, the Company has determined to enact cost-cutting measures that included a reduction in board compensation and size. &nbsp;In keeping with that decision, Mr. Olson and Mr. Brown each expressed willingness to resign from the board at this time.</P>
<P style="margin:0px"><BR></P>
<P style="margin:0px">Board members serve for one year terms from (approximately) December 1st to November 30th. Compensation for board members has been an aggregate of $22,000 consisting of an annual cash fee of $12,000 and a stock award valued at $10,000 (based on the closing market price on December 1st), plus in-person meeting fees of $1,000 per meeting. For the year December 1, 2008 to November 30, 2009, the board agreed to reduce the aggregate award by approximately 45% and take the remaining $12,000 entirely in stock (vesting quarterly during their term of service) in order to ease operating cash flow requirements. &nbsp;The board also agreed to limit in-person meetings as reasonably possible to reduce meeting fees.</P>
