Attachment A
The Company and the staff (the "Staff") of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission have been engaged in discussions with respect to the
application of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101") to the
Company's recognition of revenue from the services it provides to issuers
listed on Nasdaq. SAB 101 became effective in the fourth quarter of 2000.
In connection with the Company's discussions with the Staff, the Company's
management and its outside independent accountants are devoting substantial
time and effort to collecting and reviewing historical listing data. In
light of the fact that the Company's discussions with the Staff about the
outcome of the data review have not been concluded, the Company is unable
to timely file the Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001. In
addition, until these discussions are concluded, the Company is unable to
provide a reasonable estimate as to any impact on its results of operations
for its quarter ended June 30, 2000.
