SUPPLEMENTAL NOTE
This Registration Statement was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 29, 1998. Of the 3,795,000 shares of Common Stock,
$.001 par value per share, of the Company registered on this Registration
Statement, the Company and certain stockholders commenced the sale of
3,300,000 such shares to the Underwriters on April 29, 1998, and the Company
