(1)           In our previous 13G report, we mistakenly reported only the amount of shares represented by the share certificate we hold, and didn’t count 505,433 shares of Common Stock that are being held in escrow (see next footnote). Therefore, on 31/12/02 we actually held 3,812,112 shares of Common Stock and not 3,306,679, as reported.

(2)           Of the 3,492,112 shares of Common Stock held by the reporting person, 505,433 shares of Common Stock are being held in escrow and the reporting person may only dispose of such shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement.
