- Debt: An increase in debt occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.
- Debt Drivers: The debt increase was primarily attributed to the payment of full-year 2005 employee earned incentive awards and professional service fees related to the restatement of financial statements and the completion of the 2004 audit.
Material Changes and Filings Status
Significant changes involve the Company's regulatory compliance and historical reporting:
- Restatements: The Company filed amended Quarterly Reports (Form 10-Q/A) for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, and updated Quarterly Reports for June 30, 2004, and September 30, 2004, on April 26, 2006.
- Delayed 2005 10-K: The Company was unable to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. It expects to file this report during the latter part of the second quarter of 2006.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Shareholder Meetings: The Company expects to hold the 2005 and 2006 annual meetings of shareholders on August 24, 2006. Management noted these meetings may be further delayed if the 2005 10-K is not filed sufficiently in advance.
- Deadlines: Shareholder proposals for the annual meetings must be received by May 30, 2006, and advance notice of director nominations must be given by July 5, 2006.
- Risk Factors: The primary risks highlighted are the delay in SEC filings and the potential postponement of shareholder meetings due to these delays.
