99.1 Cease and Desist Order by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, dated May 4, 2004
99.2 Press Release dated May 4, 2004
Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
As was expected, on May 4, 2004, the Registrant announced that the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued a cease and desist order
against the Registrant. The order is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated by reference herein. On March 5, 2004 the Registrant voluntarily
submitted to the SEC a settlement offer to consent to the entry of the order. A
more detailed discussion of the Registrant's discussions with the SEC leading up
to the settlement offer is set forth in the Registrant's Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2003. The order arose out of the misconduct by Michael W.
Gullion, the Registrant's former Chief Executive Officer, which was described in
the Company's Form 10-K/A filed on April 15, 2003. As a result of the
misappropriations of corporate funds by Mr. Gullion, there was an overstatement
of the Registrant's pre-tax income and earnings per share in its Forms 10-K for
2000 and 2001 and its Form 10-Q for the second and third quarters of 2002, thus
violating certain sections of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
Registrant's press release, dated May 4, 2004, announcing the issuance of the
order is attached hereto at Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
SIGNATURE
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
hereunto duly authorized.
