Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     The Second Quarter and First Half 2003 Press Release contains
forward-looking statements (any statement other than those made solely with
respect to historical fact) based upon management's beliefs, as well as
assumptions made by and data currently available to management. This information
has been, or in the future may be, included in reliance on the "safe harbor"
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements are based on a variety of assumptions that may not be
realized and are subject to significant business, economic, judicial and
competitive risks and uncertainties, including those set forth below, many of
which are beyond the Company's control. These risks and uncertainties could
cause actual events and the Company's actual operations, financial condition,
cash flows or operating results may differ materially from those expressed or
implied by any such forward-looking statements. These statements relate to the
Company's future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. These
statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believes," "expects,"
"may," "will," "would," "should," "seeks," "pro forma," "anticipates" and
similar expressions. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise
any such forward-looking statements.

     The forward-looking statements and the Company's liquidity, capital
resources and results of operations are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in the Second Quarter
Press Release.
