results as previously released, and all amended filings resulting from the
re-audit work being performed, will occur prior to November 1, 2002 at which

This press release contains, in addition to historical information,
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including
statements regarding the continued listing of the Company's common stock on The
Nasdaq National Market. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. The factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, among others, that the
Company recently regained compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price
listing requirement and, since that time, the bid price for the Company's common
stock has fallen below $1.00, which may subject its common stock to delisting if
the bid price remains below Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price listing requirement
for thirty consecutive business days; that the Company cannot predict whether
the Company can comply will all other continued listing requirements; that the
Company has been notified by Nasdaq that it has failed to timely file its Form
10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002, which subjects its common stock to
delisting by The Nasdaq National Market unless the Company is able to comply
with Nasdaq's continued listing condition that it file its Form 10-Q for the
period ended June 30, 2002 on or before November 1, 2002; that the Company has
not been profitable on an annual basis since 1995 and may never achieve
profitability in the future; or that the Company will be restating certain
financial results. Additional information on these and other risk factors that
could affect the Company's financial results is included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K and other documents filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
