or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is, or was, a director, officer, employee or agent of such
corporation.  Indemnification is also authorized with respect to a criminal action or proceeding where

(i) $100,000 or (ii) the amount of cash compensation received by the officer or director from the
Registrant during the twelve months immediately preceding the act or omission for which liability
was imposed.  These limitations do not apply to willful misconduct, or a knowing violation of the
criminal law or of any federal or state securities law.</P>

not be liable to the Registrant or any of its shareholders for any monetary damages.  The Articles
further direct that the Registrant shall indemnify any director or officer of the Registrant who is or
was (i) a party to any proceeding ("Indemnifiable Proceeding") by reason of the fact the he is or was:
a director or officer of the Registrant; or, (ii) serving at the request of the Registrant as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other profit or non-profit enterprise.  The Registrant's indemnification duty

liability asserted against or incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising from his status
as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability

Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant

the documents listed below which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC").
(a)	The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2001.
(b)	All reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act

report referred to in (a) above.

Item 4.  Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
.
Not applicable.
Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Article 10 of the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the "Act") provides, in general, for
indemnification by a corporation of any person threatened with or made a party to any action, suit
or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is, or was, a director, officer, employee or agent of such
corporation.  Indemnification is also authorized with respect to a criminal action or proceeding where
the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
The Act also provides that in any proceeding brought by or in the right of the Registrant or
on behalf of shareholders of the Registrant, the damages assessed against an officer or director
arising out of a single transaction, occurrence or course of conduct shall not exceed the greater of
(i) $100,000 or (ii) the amount of cash compensation received by the officer or director from the
Registrant during the twelve months immediately preceding the act or omission for which liability
was imposed.  These limitations do not apply to willful misconduct, or a knowing violation of the
criminal law or of any federal or state securities law.
The Registrant's Articles of Incorporation state that a director or officer of the Registrant shall
not be liable to the Registrant or any of its shareholders for any monetary damages.  The Articles
further direct that the Registrant shall indemnify any director or officer of the Registrant who is or
was (i) a party to any proceeding ("Indemnifiable Proceeding") by reason of the fact the he is or was:
a director or officer of the Registrant; or, (ii) serving at the request of the Registrant as a director,
officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust,
employee benefit plan or other profit or non-profit enterprise.  The Registrant's indemnification duty
makes it responsible for any liabilities or expenses incurred by a director or officer in any
Indemnifiable Proceeding, except such liabilities and expenses as are incurred because of the
director's or officer's willful misconduct or knowing violation of the criminal law.
The Articles reserve the right for the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance to
indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it.  Additionally, the
Registrant is entitled to procure insurance in such amounts as the board of directors may determine
on behalf of any person whom the corporation is required or allowed to indemnify against any
liability asserted against or incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising from his status
as such, whether or not the Registrant would have the power to indemnify him against such liability
under the Articles of Incorporation.
Item 7.  Exemption From Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8.  Exhibits
.
The Index to Exhibits immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.  Undertakings
.
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective

of 1933;
(2)     To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date
of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,

Registration Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in
the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement;
(3)   	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;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l) and (a)(2) do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and if the information required to be included in
a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(b)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
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.
(c)   	 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.
(d)    That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
(e)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 SEC 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 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.
