We intend to comply fully with the court order.  We will be able to cancel at least 7.2 million shares immediately and believe that we will be able to cancel an additional 1.5 millions shares and all the options Mr. Muller previously issued to himself when we prevail in the rest of our lawsuit against Mr. Muller."
