FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Form 8-K and other reports filed by Registrant  from time to time
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (collectively the "Filings")
contain or may contain  forward  looking  statements  and  information 
that are based upon beliefs of, and information  currently available to,
Registrant's  management as well as estimates and assumptions made by
Registrant's management.  When used in the filings the words "anticipate", 
"believe",  "estimate", "expect", "future", "intend",  "plan" or the
negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate  to 
Registrant  or  Registrant's  management  identify  forward  looking
statements.  Such statements reflect the current view of Registrant with
respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, 
assumptions and other factors relating to Registrant's industry, 
Registrant's  operations and results of operations and any businesses that 
may be acquired by Registrant.  Should one or more of these risks or 
uncertainties  materialize,  or should the underlying assumptions prove
incorrect,  actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated,
believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

     Although Registrant believes that the expectations reflected in the
forward looking  statements are reasonable,  Registrant cannot guarantee
future results, levels  of  activity,  performance  or  achievements.  
Except  as  required  by applicable law,  including the securities laws of
the United States,  Registrant does not intend to update any of the
forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
