Item 4.02.		Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

     On March 4, 2011, the Company concluded that, as a result of certain disclosure omission errors described in the following paragraph, its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 appearing in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as well as its interim financial statements for 2010 periods appearing in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ending March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2010, should no longer be relied upon.

     The errors relate to disclosure omissions related to net losses available to common shareholders after increasing the net loss for preferred dividends paid by the Company, which require an adjustment to the previously reported net loss per share data included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the periods indicated, and the adequacy of disclosure for other-than-temporary losses on available for sale securities.

     These omissions had no effect on the Company’s consolidated net loss or its consolidated stockholders’ equity for the periods and as of the dates indicated.

     The Company’s Management and Audit Committees have discussed the matters described in this Item 4.02 with its independent registered public accounting firm.

     The Company is completing its review of the matters described in this Item 4.02 and intends to file an amended Form 10-K with restated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and amended Form 10-Qs with restated financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2010 as soon as practicable.
