deemed the beneficial  owners of five percent or more of the outstanding  Shares
of the Issuer  notwithstanding  the fact that the Reporting Persons have sold no
Shares since the date of the last filing. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings  ascribed to them in the Initial  Statement.  The
Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows.

Item 2.   Identity and Background.

Managing  Directors  of SFM LLC is attached  hereto as Annex A and  incorporated
herein by reference.  Updated  information  concerning the executive officers of
Duquesne LLC is attached hereto as Annex B and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a)  (i) Each of SFM LLC and Mr.  Soros may be deemed  the  beneficial
owner  of the  4,200,000  Shares  held  for  the  account  of  Quantum  Partners
(approximately 4.39% of the total number of Shares outstanding).

               (ii) Mr.  Druckenmiller  may be deemed  the  beneficial  owner of
4,300,000   Shares   (approximately   4.49%  of  the  total   number  of  Shares
outstanding).  This number consists of (A) 4,200,000 Shares held for the account
of Quantum Partners and (B) 100,000 Shares held for the accounts of the Duquesne
LLC Clients.

               (iii)  Duquesne  LLC may be deemed  the  beneficial  owner of the

owner of more than 5% of the  outstanding  Shares  because of an increase in the
number  of  outstanding  Shares,  notwithstanding  the fact  that the  Reporting
Persons have not sold any Shares since the date of the last filing.
