Pursuant to a registration statement (the "1995 Registration Statement") on Form
S-8 (File No. 33-89154), filed on February 3, 1995, the Registrant registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), 1,005,000
shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of the
Company (giving effect to stock splits effected in the form of stock dividends
subsequent to the filing of the 1995 Registration Statement). The 1995
Registration Statement covered shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise
of options granted under the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan and 1994 Formula
Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plans"). The Company has determined that the 1995
Registration Statement is no longer current and is hereby terminated. An
aggregate of 149,600 shares of Common Stock covered by the 1995 Registration
Statement have not previously been issued.
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the 1995 Registration Statement is being
filed for the purpose of transferring the 149,600 unused shares to a new
registration statement (the "1999 Registration Statement") on Form S-8
registering 230,300 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to stock-based
awards to be granted under the Company's 1994 Formula Stock Option Plan and to
include such 149,600 shares in the 230,300 shares registered under the 1999
Registration Statement.
