This press release contains certain " forward-looking" statements. The Company
desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the
express purpose of availing itself of the protections of such safe harbor with
respect to all of such forward-looking statements. The Company's ability to
predict any such projected results or to predict the effect of any legislation
or other pending events on the Company's operating results is inherently
uncertain. Therefore, the Company wishes to caution each reader of this report
to carefully consider the specific factors discussed with such forward-looking
statements and contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the most recent 10Q's and other filings, as such
factors in some cases have affected, and in the future (together with other
factors) could affect, the ability of the Company to achieve its projected
results and may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed
herein.
