ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained in this Management Discussion and Analysis are not
based on historical facts, but are forward-looking statements that are based
upon numerous assumptions about future conditions that may ultimately prove to
be inaccurate. Actual events and results may materially differ from anticipated
results described in such statements. The Company's ability to achieve such
results is subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Such risks and
uncertainties include but are not limited to, product prices, continued
availability of capital and financing, and other factors affecting the Company's
business that may be beyond its control.

events of September 11, 2001 are not currently expected to have a direct
material effect on the Company.
