INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 1.           DESCRIPTION OF REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED       

        Pursuant to Rule 12b-23 of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 set forth below is a description of the         
dividend, voting and other material rights of Registrant's Common Stock, $.02   
par value                                                                       

      Registrant is authorized to issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.02 par value per share. As of April 15, 2004, there were 10,868,818   
shares of common stock outstanding, which were held of record by 4,319          
stockholders.                                                                   

         The holders of the common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. We do not
have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors, and accordingly,    
holders of a majority of the shares voting are able to elect all of the         
directors. Subject to preferences that may be granted to any then outstanding   
preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such   
dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally     
available therefor as well as any distributions to the stockholders, subject to 
the ability to declare dividends under New York law. In the event of our        
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to 
share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of liabilities owed  
to creditors and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding preferred   
stock. Holders of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription or      
conversion rights or preferential rights. There are no redemption or sinking    
fund provisions applicable to the common stock.                                 

Item 2.           EXHIBITS

exhibits have been filed with this Registration Statement or are incorporated   
herein by reference pursuant to Commission Rule 12b-32:
