                         Annual Meeting of Stockholders
                           To Be Held on July 21, 2004

July 7, 2004

Dear Stockholder:

     We are writing to correct a typographical error that appeared in the
printed proxy statement recently mailed to you in connection with the
solicitation of proxies for our 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under
Proposal 4, "Amendments of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
to Effect a Reverse Stock Split Followed by a Forward Stock Split", the second
hypothetical scenario on the bottom of page 22 should read as follows:


- -----------------------------------------------    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HYPOTHETICAL SCENARIO                              RESULT
- -----------------------------------------------    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                
Ms. Eastwood has two separate record accounts.     Each account will be treated individually. Because neither account holds the
Immediately prior to the Reverse/Forward Split,    Minimum Number of shares, Ms. Eastwood will receive cash payments equal to

name only.
                                                   If Ms. Eastwood wants to continue her investment in the Company, she can
                                                   consolidate or transfer her two record accounts prior to the Effective Date
                                                   into one account with at least the Minimum Number of shares of Common Stock.
                                                   Alternatively, she can buy at least 50 more shares for the first account and
                                                   100 more shares for the second account so that she will have the Minimum
                                                   Number of shares in each account. She would have to act far enough in advance
                                                   of the Reverse/Forward Split so that the consolidation or the purchase is
                                                   completed prior to 5:00 p.m. (central time) on the Effective Date. Even if
                                                   she does consolidate these accounts, there is no assurance that the accounts
                                                   will be consolidated by the Effective Date or, even if they are consolidated,
                                                   that the financial institution holding the consolidated account will provide
                                                   timely notice to the transfer agent. If the transfer agent does not receive
                                                   timely notice, Ms. Eastwood will receive the cash payment and will not retain
                                                   her shares.
