Our report dated March 26, 2003, except for note 3, which is as of January
16, 2004, 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 2002
consolidated financial statements have been restated.

As discussed in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for intangible assets in 2002 and derivative
financial instruments in 2001.
