Section 16(a) BeneÑcial Ownership Reporting Compliance

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written
representations that no other reports were required, during the Ñscal year ended December 31, 2002, all
Section 16(a) Ñling requirements applicable to our oÇcers, directors and greater than 10% beneÑcial

transaction covering 411 shares.

principal accounting oÇcer by posting such information on our website at
