ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

     On January 8, 2004, we implemented a cost reduction initiative as part of an overall cost realignment involving, among other things, the elimination of certain positions, the reallocation of work between locations and the outsourcing of certain job functions. As a result, we reduced the number of our employees by 100 and expect to eliminate approximately $5.1 million of annualized salary expense.
