On February 17, 2009 the Company hired Christopher T. Carney as interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company.  Because Mr. Carney will be compensated by Material Advisors LLC, which has entered into a Management Agreement with the Company as reported in the 8-K filed by the Company on January 7, 2009, Mr. Carney will receive no separate compensation from the Company for his service as interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Carney joined Material Advisors LLC in January 2009, where he provides financial and managerial consulting services to companies engaging Material Advisors, whose sole present business is advising the Company.  From March 2007 until December 2008, Mr. Carney was an analyst at SAC Capital/CR Intrinsic Investors, LLC, a hedge fund, where he evaluated the debt and equity securities of companies undergoing financial restructurings and operational turnarounds. From March 2004 until October 2006, Mr. Carney was a distressed debt and special situations analyst for RBC Dain Rauscher Inc., a registered broker-dealer.  Mr. Carney is 38 years old and graduated with a BA in Computer Science from CUNY-Lehman College and an MBA in Finance from Tulane University.
