ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS On March 5, 2004, the Registrant issued a press release (the "Press Release") indicating that it filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO") for patent protection on technology that will enable bill payment using a debit card (the "Technology"). The purpose of this report on Form 8-K is to clarify that the "patent protection" the Registrant filed with the USPTO, as discussed in the Press Release, was a provisional patent application (the "Provisional Application"). The Provisional Application will not become a patent and will expire after a period of one year following its filing date. In order for the Technology to be protected by patent, the Registrant must file a utility patent application (the "Utility Application") with the USPTO and the USPTO must review the Utility Application and issue a patent for the Technology if the USPTO determines that the Technology is patentable. In the event the Registrant files the Utility Application with the USPTO before the expiration of the Provisional Application, the Utility Application may claim the benefit of the filing date of the Provisional Application. The Registrant does not guaranty that it will file the Utility Application or that the USPTO will issue a patent for the Technology. SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
