Item 5.03          Amendment to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On August 8, 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved new AMEX listing standards setting forth Direct Registration System (“DRS”) eligibility requirements. DRS enables investors to maintain securities electronically on the books of a transfer agent or issuer, and allows for the electronic transfer of securities.  To meet DRS requirements, on April 25, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors amended Article V of its Bylaws to permit the issuance of uncertificated shares, and to authorize the Board to adopt procedures for the registration and transfer of uncertificated securities.
