unable to obtain, without unreasonable effort or expense, certain information
related to its financial statements and exhibits. It is anticipated that the
Form 20-F Annual Report, along with the audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2003, will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day
following the prescribed due date of the Registrant's Form 20-F.
