ITEM 5: OTHER EVENTS
On April 8, 2004, the Company was served with a civil complaint filed by Voice Capture, Inc. against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa (the “Complaint”).

The plaintiff is seeking unspecified damages.
The Company is currently investigating the allegations raised in the Complaint. However, the Company believes that the allegations of the Complaint are without merit and intends to defend the litigation vigorously.
