On February 25, 2004, an order was entered by the Bankruptcy Court denying a motion of certain shareholders directing the United States Trustee to appoint an Official Committee of Equity Security Holders. It is contemplated that funds will be available for distribution to unsecured creditors, however the estimated amount to be distributed and percentage of recovery to unsecured creditors has not yet been determined.
