On December 7, 2007, the Registrant notified substantially all of its employees that they would be terminated. These terminations result from the Registrant's financial condition and its decision to suspend taking new mortgage loan applications, which were publicly announced on December 6, 2007.

On December 7, 2007, the Registrant received written notice from AG Special Situation Corp. ("AGSSC"), an affiliate of Angelo, Gordon & Co., that AGSSC had terminated its letter of intent with the Registrant, which was previously announced on November 16, 2007. As disclosed on December 6, 2007, the Registrant does not currently expect to complete the proposed capital-raising transaction with AGSSC.
