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.
