                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         We are amending in full Item 4. Controls and Procedures of Part I of
this Quarterly Report to delete the word "significant" from the second paragraph
of this Item 4 and to include reference to the three months ended March 31,
2004. Except for the foregoing, no other information included in the original
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is changed by this amendment.


                                     PART I

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

         As of March 31, 2004, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and forms.

         There have been no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2004 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
