Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of our outstanding common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock.  These persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all such reports they file.

 

To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all required Section 16(a) reports were timely filed in 2002.
