The Issuer started in its application that it has met the requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in effect in the State of Delaware, in which it is incorporated, and with the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a security from listing and registration.
In making the decision to withdraw the Security from listing on the Exchange, the Issuer considered:

(3) The volume of trading of the Security is approximately nine percent (9%) of the aggregate trading volume in the Common Stock since 1997;
(4) The resignation of the Issuer's independent auditor;
(5) The percentage of the Issuer's Security owned by affiliates of the Issuer; and
(6) The costs associated with maintaining the Issuer's listing on the Amex in light of the Issuer's current financial position.
The Issuer represent that the Security has been listed in the Pink Sheets since late April 2001. The Issuer also represents that it is investigating whether or not to file a Form 15 with the Commission.
Any interested person may, on or before June 1, 2001, submit by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission for the protection of investors.

For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.3
