We have elected to use a $1.0 million threshold for disclosing certain proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental laws when a government authority is a party and potential monetary sanctions are involved. We believe proceedings under this threshold are not material to our business and financial condition.

Other than the items listed herein, we are not a party to any legal, regulatory, or administrative proceedings other than proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that there are no such proceedings for which a final disposition could have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition, or for which disclosure is otherwise required by Item 103 of Regulation S-K.
