                                Explanatory Note

The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on
July 23, 2008 (the "Original Filing"), is to amend the Condensed balance sheets
- June 28, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (the "Balance Sheet") which erroneously
overstated "Cash and cash equivalents" for June 28, 2008 by $10 million. The
figure (in thousands) should read "$6,105" not "$16,105."

The Balance Sheet is restated in its entirety below.

Except for the above described amendment, this Form 10-Q/A does not modify other
disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing, including each of the
applicable notes to the financial statements contained therein.
