              of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") since
              the end of fiscal year 2002;

         (d)  the description of our common stock contained in our registration
              statement on Form 8-A dated January 27, 1999;

         (e)  the description of our Class A common stock contained in our

part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement in a
document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded for the purposes of this registration
statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         We have authority under Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act to indemnify our directors and officers to the extent provided
in such statute. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we may indemnify our
executive officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law either
now or hereafter. We have entered or will enter into an agreement with each of
our directors and some of our officers wherein we have agreed or will agree to
indemnify each of them to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                                      II-1
<PAGE>

         The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of non-monetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of
criminal laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (b)
deriving an improper personal benefit from a transaction; (c) voting for or
assenting to an unlawful distribution; and (d) willful misconduct or a conscious
disregard for our best interests in a proceeding by or in our right to procure a
judgment in our favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.
The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law,
such as the federal securities laws.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FORM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         See "Exhibit Index" on page II-6 below.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
         made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to
         include any material information with respect to the plan of
         distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
         any material change to such information in the registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
         registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
         the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
         initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
         at the termination of the offering.

         (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the

                                      II-2
<PAGE>

matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

              of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") since
              the end of fiscal year 2002;

              statement on Form 8-A dated January 27, 1999;

deemed to be modified or superseded for the purposes of this registration
statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

         We have authority under Section 607.0850 of the Florida Business
Corporation Act to indemnify our directors and officers to the extent provided
in such statute. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we may indemnify our
executive officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law either
now or hereafter. We have entered or will enter into an agreement with each of
our directors and some of our officers wherein we have agreed or will agree to
indemnify each of them to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                                      II-1
The provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act that authorize
indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms
of non-monetary relief will remain available under Florida law. In addition,
each director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of
criminal laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct
was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; (b)
deriving an improper personal benefit from a transaction; (c) voting for or
assenting to an unlawful distribution; and (d) willful misconduct or a conscious
disregard for our best interests in a proceeding by or in our right to procure a
judgment in our favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.
The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law,
such as the federal securities laws.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FORM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

         Not applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

         See "Exhibit Index" on page II-6 below.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

         (a)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
         made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to
         include any material information with respect to the plan of
         distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
         any material change to such information in the registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
         Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
         registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
         the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
         initial bona fide offering thereof.

               (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
         amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
         at the termination of the offering.

         (b)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the

                                      II-2
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                                      II-3

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,

all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Hollywood, State of Florida, on the 3rd day of
September, 2003.
