On December 14, 2006, we issued a press release announcing estimated results of operation for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

On December 15, 2006 we filed a Form 12b-25 (Notification of Late Filing) with respect to our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. We disclosed in the Form 12b-25 that we need additional time to complete the previously announced voluntary review of our historical stock option and stock grants.

Part IV of the Form 12b-25 also contains information about our expected results of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, which information is incorporated by reference in Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 2.02, including Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Statements made herein regarding our financial information and the possible conclusions or determinations to be made by the Audit Committee are forward-looking statements and are subject to the Safe Harbor provisions created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on current information and expectations, and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in such statements due to various factors, including but not limited to, the final conclusions of the Audit Committee and the Company's independent public accountants concerning matters related to the Company's historical stock option and stock grants. More information about potential factors that could affect our business and financial results is included in the prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 27, 2006 under the heading "Risk Factors." You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Notification of Late Filing.
