Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements based on current
expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Generally,
forward-looking statements include words or phrases such as "management
anticipates," "the Company believes," "the Company anticipates," "the Company
expects," "the Company plans," "the Company will," and words and phrases of
similar impact, and include but are not limited to statements regarding future
operations, business strategy and business environment. The forward-looking
statements are made pursuant to safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities

that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the
following:
o There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete the
re-audit by January 13, 2003. In the event that the Company does not
complete the re-audit by January 13, 2003 it will not be in compliance
with the NASDAQ rules, which in turn will most likely cause the
Company's stock to be de-listed.
For a detailed discussion of these and other risk factors, interested parties
should review the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
