As a result of the review, the Company announced that it is taking additional remedial action.

     The Company plans to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable after completion of its review of the appropriate treatment of the accounting adjustments with its external auditors. For additional information, see the July 8, 2004 press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
