Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003, we were a "foreign private issuer," as that term is defined in Rule 3b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

We determined that as of August 27, 2003, we no longer qualified as a foreign private issuer. 3 ITEM 11.
