Item 8.01 Other Matters.

On May 18, 2007, the Company filed a Form 8-K disclosing a letter to certain stockholders discussing matters relating to the annual meeting the Company has announced that it intends to hold.  In response to a follow-up letter from counsel for one of those stockholders, on May 22, 2007, counsel for the Company sent a letter to such counsel that contained the following paragraph:

“With respect to the views of Grant Thornton set forth in the fourth numbered paragraph of Mr. Kesler’s letter dated May 18, 2007 to certain stockholders, there are no written communications between Grant Thornton and members of the Company’s Board or management in which Grant Thornton indicates some concern and uncertainty about continuing as the Company’s auditors if a new Board is elected. Management orally described to Grant Thornton the concerns certain stockholders expressed about the composition of the Board. Grant Thornton orally informed management that they do not ordinarily provide services to companies that are in liquidation, but, following their client reacceptance process regarding the Company, they determined that they would continue to represent the Company as a client as it goes through the liquidation process pursuant to the plan approved by the stockholders.  If there were changes to such plan, or if the Company decided not to follow the plan, Grant Thornton would need to reevaluate their client reacceptance decision.   In addition Grant Thornton orally informed management that, as an ordinary part of their practice, when there is a change in management or the board of a client, Grant Thornton performs an evaluation of the client to determine if they will continue as the company’s auditors. Grant Thornton did not orally or in writing indicate any persons they preferred to be members of the Board. Neither the Company nor its representatives, directors, officers, or employees had any written or oral communications with Grant Thornton relating to the make up of the Board other than as described in this paragraph or that sought to influence Grant Thornton’s opinion of your client or other prospective nominees for the Board.”

On April 9, 2007, Sherrian Gunn was named President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and on April 17, 2007, Ms. Gunn was named was also named Chief Financial Officer of the Company.   Ms. Gunn beneficially owns 9,534 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which amount constitutes less than one percent of the shares outstanding as of May 22, 2007.   Ms. Gunn has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of Common Stock
