See "Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition" below, the contents

Item 12.  Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

         On April 21, 2003, the Company held a broadly accessible conference
call with investors to discuss the Company's financial results announced in a
press release issued on April 16, 2003. Certain information discussed during the
conference call is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

         The disclosures by the Company during the conference call included one
or more "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of the Securities and
Exchange Commission's Regulation G. With respect to each such non-GAAP financial
measure, the Company has disclosed in the conference call the most directly
comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and has provided a
reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures have been
presented because management uses this information in monitoring and evaluating
the Company's on-going financial results and trends and believes that as a
result, this information will be useful to investors. The disclosure in this
Form 8-K of any financial information shall not constitute an admission that
such information is material.






         The following reconciliation of the Non-GAAP to GAAP financial measures
was orally discussed during the conference call as follows:
