The Board approved the asset sale because it believes it was the strategic alternative most likely to maximize stockholder value. In reaching its conclusion to approve the asset sale, the Board reviewed and considered the company's current condition and future prospects, including its financial condition and related concerns over continuing as a going concern and the resulting difficulty in investing in new products. The Board also reviewed and considered the value of the company's assets, claims and obligations, and other strategic alternatives for the company, including the risks associated with these alternatives. After considering these factors and alternatives, the Board determined that the asset sale was advisable, and in the best interests of the company, its stockholders and creditors and that the company should proceed with the asset sale.
