purposes.
(E) Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences
between the recording of assets and or liabilities reported for
financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred
taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the
classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate.
Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related
to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current
depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are
expected to reverse. To the extent that the total of deferred tax
assets are not realized, a reserve is established.

PART II -OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On February 1, 2000,in the US District Court for the Southern
District of New York, the Company sued Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce and its wholly-owned subsidiary CIBC Oppenheimer Corp. for
action under its clearing agency license that violated securities laws
and RICO and requested ancillary jurisdiction over the state causes of
action. Respondents answered with a Motion to Dismiss which was
granted in a summary order on June 16, 2000 and which the Company
appealed on July 17, 2000.
On April 25, 2001, the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
affirmed dismissal finding that the Company was collaterally estopped
from asserting fraud and its state law claims; that the Company had no
right to sue CIBC for concealing the fact that it might arbitrarily,
at will, refuse to clear all sales of the Company's securities; that
no private person has a right to sue a clearing agency arising from
the fact that the clearing agency violated Section 17A(b)(6) of the
Securities Exchange Act causing the private person damage; and because
the clearing agency's violation of Section 17A(b)(6) prevented
culmination of the sale, there was no sale of securities in this
case to support a claim based on 18(a) of the Act. The case was
remanded for findings regarding the imposition or denial of sanctions.
On May 9, 2001 the Company requested Rehearing because the
decision left every investor with no remedy, from court or agency, for
damages caused by a clearing agency's selective and arbitrary decision
to derail a securities transaction without notice or rationale and in
violation of a federal statute, Section 17A(b)(6). On June 1, 2001,
Rehearing was denied without comment.
