This Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13-D originally filed as of August 6, 2003,
is filed solely to update the reporting of the filer's ownership of the
Registrant's securities as a result of (i) the additional shares issued to the
Reporting Person under the earnout provisions of the previously reported
agreement based upon the initial Formula Period and (ii) the fact that a portion
of the option shares under a previously reported option granted to the Reporting
Person became exercisable as of August 6, 2004. As a result of the foregoing,
Items 5 and 6 as previously filed are amended by adding the following additional
paragraphs to the disclosures therein. All other items remain unchanged. The
percentages upon which the filer's share ownership is reported is based upon the
31,970,211 shares reported by the Registrant as outstanding on August 31, 2004,
increased by (i) the shares issued with respect to the Formula Period and (ii)
the shares now vested and exercisable under the option.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.


On August 6, 2004, 100,000 of the 300,000 shares under option to the filer
became exercisable in accordance with the terms of the option and as such are
now deemed beneficially owned until such time as the option expires.

On September 15, the Registrant advised the filer that with respect to the first
Formula Period under the earnout provisions of the Agreement, the maximum amount
due with respect to that period had been reached, resulting in the issuance of
an aggregate of 458,333 additional shares of Common Stock of the Registrant.
33,333 of such shares are deliverable to a broker engaged in connection with the
transaction, the remaining 425,000 of such shares are deliverable to the filer,

As a result of the foregoing, the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned
by the filer has increased to 1,750,000 shares, equal to approximately 5.4% of
the number of the Registrant's shares outstanding as of August 31, 2004 as
adjusted to reflect the additional shares issued or issuable in accordance with
the preceding two paragraphs.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENT, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.


In connection with a proposed underwritten offering of the Registrant's Common
Stock, the filer, together with certain other shareholders of the Registrant
(including its officers and directors), has agreed to refrain from sales or
transfers of shares of the Registrant's Common Stock without the prior written
consent of First Albany Capital, Inc. as underwriter of such offering, for a
period from the filing date of the registration statement until the later of the
abandonment of such offering or 120 days following the effective date of the
registrations statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the commencement of
the offering. Reference is made to the Registrant's registration statement on
Form S-3 filed on September 3, 2004, file number 333-1187871.
