The complete text of Item 4, as amended is set forth herein.

The remainder of the Form 10-Q is unchanged and is not reproduced in this Amendment No. 1. The Amendment No. 1 speaks as of the original filing date of the Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original Form 10-Q, or modify or update the disclosures therein in any way other than as required to reflect the amendment set forth below. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as of September 30, 2003. Based on such evaluation, they have concluded that, as of September 30, 2003, the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. There were no changes in the company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that has or is reasonably likely to materially affect the company's internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report. SIGNATURE Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
