Item
5.02 Departure
of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Principal Officers
On
November 17, 2006, Ronald O. Abernathy was appointed by the Board of Director’s
as the Registrant’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer and interim
Chief Accounting Officer.
Mr.
Abernathy is a seasoned entrepreneur and businessman who gained a wealth of
business experience from his international transactional practice over the
past
30 years. From his beginnings as a pointman in the 173rd
airborne
brigade where he received a Gold Star for military merit, to a position with
the
United Nations in New York, Mr. Abernathy later began his international business
career as a free-lance entrepreneur completing a series of brokered transactions
in Switzerland, and around the globe. In 1993 Mr. Abernathy became the President
and CEO of Scottsdale, Arizona based U.S. Machinery, and in a joint venture
with
McDonald-Douglas, completed various international off-set trade programs valued
in excess of $1 billion.
Mr.
Abernathy is currently the President and CEO of Abernathy, Warburg & Hall, a
Business Consulting and Marketing Strategies firm, a position he has held for
over 10 years. Amongst his other business ventures, Mr. Abernathy is currently
working with G.E. Capital to acquire a Major League Baseball™ team, a project
that has been on-going for more than one year. In 2001 Mr. Abernathy was the
first American ever elected as President of the International Nigerian Chamber
of Commerce, a position he held until 2003.
Outside
of his business ventures, Mr. Abernathy is engaged in philanthropic pursuits
through his appointment to the Board of Directors of the World Children’s Fund,
a charitable foundation formed by Arizona based law firm of Lodmell &
Lodmell. Mr. Abernathy has had many years of political involvement, and he
was
recently nominated as Republican of the Year for the State of Arizona by the
Bush Administration. Mr. Abernathy is also a member of the Republican Governors
Association’s Team 1000 - a group of Republican business leaders committed to
creating business and economic opportunities in the United States.
Prior
to
his appointment, neither Mr. Abernathy, nor any member of his immediate family,
conducted any transaction or proposed transactions with the Registrant that
required disclosure pursuant to §404(a)
of
Regulation S-B (17 CFR 228.404(a)).
The
Registrant’s Corporate Governance Committee is finalizing the terms of Mr.
Abernathy’s engagement and will file such agreement upon its completion.

Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant
