Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d)

    The Issuer states in its application that it has met the complied 
with the requirements of the CHX Article XXVIII, Rule 4, by complying 
with Exchange's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of a 
security from listing and registration.
    On October 15, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Issuer approved 
a resolution to withdraw the Company's Security from listing on the 
CHX. The Board states that the following reasons factored into its 
decision to withdraw the Security from listing and registration on the 
CHX: (i) The Issuer's Security began trading on the American Stock 
Exchange LLC (``Amex'') on September 9, 2002, and (ii) the Issuer 
believes that listing on the Amex will provide greater visibility for 
its Security. The Issuer's application relates solely to the withdrawal 
of the Security from listing and registration on the CHX and shall have 
no effect upon its continued listing and registration on the Amex under 
section 12(b) of the Act.\3\
