Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 29, 2016, Blank Rome, LP withdrew as counsel for the Company in its current RTC litigation pursuant to an Order signed by the Court. Due to its severe cash constraints, the Company has been unable to pay legal fees in connection with the litigation. Pursuant to the Order, the Company is required to obtain new counsel on or before December 29, 2016. As a result, the Company is seeking a more cost effective way to defend the claims by the plaintiffs and maintain its counterclaims against the counter defendants, including finding a contingency based law firm. The Company can not predict whether it will be successful in obtaining new counsel. If it is unable to do so, such event will have a material adverse impact on the Company.
