    The Issuer states that the reasons it is taking such action to 
withdraw its Securities from listing and registration on the Amex are

inability of the Issuer to regain compliance with Amex quantitative 
standards, in accordance with a plan of compliance the Issuer submitted 
to Amex, which the Amex approved in 2003, by the end of the current 
fiscal year on December 3, 2004. The Issuer states that it is currently 
considering the alternative over-the-counter markets to trade the 
Securities.
    The Issuer states in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
the State of Massachusetts, in which it is incorporated, and with the 
Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary
