  FOREWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
  
  Some  of  the  information in this report on Form 8-K or the  documents
  incorporated  by  reference in this report  on  Form  8-K  may  contain
  forward-looking statements.  You can identify these statements by words
  or  phrases  such  as "will likely result," "may," "are  expected  to,"
  "will continue to," "is anticipated," "estimate," "projected," "intends
  to" or other similar words.  These forward-looking statements regarding
  our  business  and prospects are based upon numerous assumptions  about
  future conditions, which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate.  Actual
  events  and  results  may  materially differ from  anticipated  results
  described  in  those  statements.  Forward-looking  statements  involve
  risks  and  uncertainties described in the Form 8-K, which could  cause
  our  actual  results to differ materially from historical earnings  and
  those   presently   anticipated.   When   considering   forward-looking
  statements, you should keep those risk factors in mind as well  as  the
  other cautionary statements in this report on Form 8-K.  You should not
  place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
