The Audit Committee is working to complete this review as quickly and thoroughly as possible. The Registrant will not be in a position to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 31, 2006 until after the completion of the review, which will not occur within the prescribed time period for the filing of such Form 10-Q (including the extension under Rule 12b-25).
