Our report dated March 26, 2003 contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the Company is undergoing financial restructuring which raises substantial
doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

As discussed in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for intangible assets in 2002 and derivative
financial instruments in 2001.
