Historically, we have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes. Accordingly, we do not expect adoption of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment this new standard on January 1, 2001 to affect our financial statements. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation ("Interpretation") No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 29"25" which is effective July 1, 2000.

In December 20042002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share Based Payment" ("FAS 123R"), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25146, "Accounting for Stock Issued to EmployeesCosts Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities."
