As a result of the Company’s previously announced delay in the filing of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 (the “2004 Form 10-K”) and the Company’s previously announced need to select an independent registered public accounting firm to replace Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s principal accountant, upon the completion of the Company’s 2004 audit, the Company needs additional time to complete its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”). The Company currently expects to file the First Quarter Form 10-Q by June 30, 2005.

The Company expects that there will be significant changes in its consolidated results of operations reflected in the First Quarter Form 10-Q from those reflected in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The Company estimates that, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, net income will be approximately $1,515,000, or $0.23 per basic and $0.21 per diluted share. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company reported income available to common stockholders of $549,000, or $0.09 per basic and $0.06 per diluted share. In the first quarter of 2004, the Company also reported income from continuing operations of $1,240,000, or $0.17 per basic and $0.15 per diluted share. In 2004, the Company completed the sale of Pumpkin Masters Holdings, Inc. and settled the bankruptcy proceedings of Possible Dreams, Ltd., each of which had been reported as discontinued operations in the 2004 period. In addition, due to the redemption of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock in the third quarter of 2004, the Company no longer reports preferred stock accretion, which had reduced net income in 2004. The estimated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 include approximately $2,100,000 of expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s independent internal investigation, which concluded in March 2005. |
