The undersigned Registrant hereby amends the following Item 13 of its 2001
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 28, 2002, to read in its entirety as follows:

Item 13   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     On May 10, 2001, we entered into an employment agreement with Joseph J.
Friscia setting forth his responsibilities and compensation. The agreement
requires us to pay Mr. Friscia an annual base salary of $250,000 and all legal
defense expenses arising out of Mr. Friscia's employment. In addition, subject
to Mr. Friscia executing a general release of claims against us, in the event we
terminate Mr. Friscia's employment without cause or Mr. Friscia terminates his
employment for any reason, the agreement provides for one year of base salary
continuation, one year of continued coverage under our group health insurance
plan and up to $10,000 of outplacement support services. Under the agreement,
Mr. Friscia confirmed his earlier agreement not to compete with our business
during the term of his employment and for eighteen months thereafter and also
agreed not to solicit any of our employees for a period of eighteen months after
the termination of his employment.

     During 2001 there were no other transactions involving more than $60,000,
other than executive compensation and benefits earned in the normal course of
business, nor are any proposed, between the Company and any executive officer,
Director, 5% beneficial owner of our Common Stock or equivalents, or any
immediate family member of any of the foregoing, in which any such persons or
entities had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

     We have adopted a policy which provides that transactions between the
Company and its officers, Directors, principal stockholders and their affiliates
must be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from
unrelated third parties and must be approved by a majority of the disinterested
members of the Company's Board of Directors.
