On September 16, 2004, the Board of Directors ("Board") of the Issuer approved a resolution to withdraw the Issuer's Securities from listing and registration on the BSE. The Issuer states that the following reasons factored into the Board's decision to withdraw the Securities: (i) The nature and extent of trading in the Issuer's Securities on the BSE is limited; (ii) the market value the public markets are applying to the Issuer's Securities; (iii) the lack of institutional investor interest and securities analyst coverage of the Issuer; and (iv) the costs associated with maintaining a listing on the BSE. The Issuer states that the Securities currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The Issuer states in its application that it has complied with BSE procedures for delisting by complying with all applicable laws in effect in the State of Oregon, the state in which it is incorporated. The Issuer's application relates solely to withdrawal of the Securities from listing on the BSE and from registration under section 12(b) of the Act,3and shall not affect its obligation to be registered under section 12(g) of the Act.4
