business. Therefore, we do not pay any cash dividends on
our outstanding common stock. Future cash dividends, if
any, will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and
will depend upon, among other things, future operations
and earnings, capital requirements, general financial
conditions, contractual restrictions, and other factors that
our Board may consider relevant.
