Item 3. Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference
The Company hereby incorporates by reference in this Registration Statement the following documents:
(a)
the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001;
(b)
the
Company' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2002;
(c)
the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 25, 2002; and
(d)
the
description of the Company's Common Stock contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on October 21, 1997 and any amendment or
report filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All
documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing
of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document, all or a portion of which is incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, shall be deemed to be modified or superceded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to
be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supercedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superceded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or amended, to constitute a part of
this Registration Statement.
The
financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, incorporated herein by reference, were audited by Arthur
Andersen LLP ("Andersen"). After reasonable efforts, the Company has not been able to obtain the consent of Andersen to the incorporation by reference of its audit report dated January 29, 2002

as amended ("Securities Act"). Accordingly, in connection with any acquisition of common stock of the Company registered by this registration statement on Form S-8, Andersen may not have any
liability under Section 11 of the Securities Act for false and misleading statements and omissions contained in such financial statements audited by Andersen, and any claims against Andersen
related to such false and misleading statements and omissions may be limited.
