SECTION 8 – OTHER EVENTS

ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

        The Duane E. Sander Living Trust, a trust for which Dr. Duane E. Sander, a Director of the Company, has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan to sell up to a total of 48,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Portions of the shares may be sold any time the stock achieves certain prearranged minimum prices and may take place beginning on June 9, 2006 and ending on December 31, 2007 unless sooner terminated. The amount of shares sold in any month is limited to a maximum of 4,000 shares, with any unsold shares being carried over to future months during the term of the plan. Dr. Sander will not have any control over the timing of any sales under the plan and there can be no assurance that the shares covered by the plan actually will be sold. The Trust entered into the plan in order to diversify its financial holdings. Dr. Sander will continue to have a significant ownership interest in the Company because these shares represent less than 8.9% of all shares beneficially owned by Dr. Sander. As such, these sales are not significant to his total interest in the Company.

        This trading plan is intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy. Rule 10b5-1 allows corporate insiders to establish and amend prearranged written plans to buy or sell a specified number of shares of a company stock over a set period of time. A plan must be entered into in good faith at a time when the insider is not in possession of material, nonpublic information. Subsequent receipt by the insider of material, nonpublic information will not prevent transactions under the plans from being executed.

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
