On August 15, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a federal court action against Wulf International Ltd. ("WIL") and George R. Wulf, the former chairman of its board of directors and its former chief executive officer. The Commission's complaint alleges that, between January 2001 and April 2002, WIL, through George R.

The Commission's complaint alleges that WIL and George R. Wulf violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder. The complaint seeks permanent injunctions against both defendants, and as to George R. Wulf, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, civil money penalties, and officer and director and penny stock bars.
