the report but who is not a reporting person.
Reporting persons are also requested to furnish
their Social Security or I.R.S. identification
numbers, although disclosure of such numbers is
voluntary, not mandatory (see "SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
FOR COMPLYING WITH SCHEDULE 13G," below). (2) If
any of the shares beneficially owned by a reporting
person are held as a member of a group and such
membership is expressly affirmed, please check row
2(a). If the membership in a group is disclaimed or
the reporting person describes a relationship with
other persons but does not affirm the existence of
a group, please check row 2(b) [unless a joint
filing pursuant to Rule 13d-1(e)(1) in which case
it may not be necessary to check row 2(b)].
(3) The third row is for SEC internal use; please

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Notes:
Attach as many copies of the second part of the
cover page as are needed, one reporting person per
page.
Filing persons may, in order to avoid
unnecessary
duplication, answer items on the schedules
(Schedule 13D, 13G or 14D-1) by appropriate cross
references t an item or items on the cover page(s).
This approach may only be used where the cover page
item or items provide all the disclosure required
by the schedule item. Moreover, such a use of a
cover page item will result in the item
becoming a part of the schedule and accordingly
being considered as "filed" for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act or otherwise
subject to the liabilities of that section of the
Act.
Reporting persons may comply with their cover
page filing requirements by filing either completed
copies of the blank forms available from the
Commission, printed or typed facsimiles, or
computer printed facsimiles, provided the documents
filed have identical formats to the forms
prescribed in the Commission's regulations and meet
existing Securities Exchange Act rules as to such
matters as clarity and size (Securities Exchange
Act Rule 12b-12).

for the primary purpose of determining and
disclosing the holdings of certain beneficial
owners of certain equity securities. This statement
