Item 14. "CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES" is amended by replacing the item in
its entirety with the following:                                                

Item 14. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.                                     

 It is responsibility of the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer to ensure the Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures      
designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information, both        
financial and non-financial, and other information required under the           
securities laws to be disclosed is identified and communicated to senior        
management on a timely basis. The Company's disclosure controls and             
procedures include mandatory communication of material subsidiary events,       
automated accounting processing and reporting, management review of monthly     
and quarterly results, periodic subsidiary business reviews, an established     
system of internal controls and rotating internal control reviews by the        
Company's internal auditors.                                                    

The chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the 
Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the quarter       
ended December 31, 2002 and have concluded that they are effective as of        
December 31, 2002 in providing reasonable assurance that such information is    
identified and communicated on a timely basis. Additionally, there were no      
changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting              
identified in connection with the evaluation that have materially affected,     
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal           
control over financial reporting.                                               

Item 15 on pages 11 through 13 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the        
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 is amended by the addition of the           
following exhibits:
