(1) The Company previously registered an aggregate of $64,400,000 worth of
Common Stock on a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-59097),
for which a filing fee of $18,998 was previously paid upon the filing of
such Registration Statement. On July 23, 1998, an additional $5,000 was
paid via wire transfer from which the required filing fee of $2,374.75
should be drawn. Accordingly, the Registrant has instructed a bank to
transmit a wire transfer to the Securities and Exchange Commission of the
requisite fee, the Registrant will not revoke such instruction, and it has
sufficient funds in the Commission's account to cover the amount of the
registration fee.
THE REGISTRANT HEREBY AMENDS THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON SUCH DATE OR
DATES AS MAY BE NECESSARY TO DELAY ITS EFFECTIVE DATE UNTIL THE REGISTRANT
SHALL FILE A FURTHER AMENDMENT WHICH SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THIS
REGISTRATION STATEMENT SHALL THEREAFTER BECOME EFFECTIVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 8(a) OF THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE ON SUCH DATE AS THE COMMISSION, ACTING PURSUANT TO SAID
SECTION 8(a), MAY DETERMINE.
