Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

      On November 10, 2004 the Company  issued a press  release  announcing  its
financial  results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2004. A copy of the
press release  issued by the Company is attached  hereto as Exhibit  99.1.  Also

      The Company's press release announcing its financial results for its third
quarter  ended  September  30,  2004  contains  non-GAAP   financial   measures.
Generally,  a non-GAAP  financial  measure is a numerical measure of a company's
performance,  financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes
amounts  that  are not  normally  excluded  or  included  in the  most  directly
comparable  measure  calculated  and presented in accordance  with United States
generally accepted accounting principles,  or GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements
of Regulation G, the Company has provided  quantitative  reconciliations  within
the press  release  of the  non-GAAP  financial  measures  to the most  directly
comparable GAAP financial measures.

      The press  release  attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 shall not be
deemed  "filed" for  purposes of Section 18 of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of
1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to liabilities of that Section.
