RECONCILIATION BETWEEN GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Published on April 16, 2003


EXHIBIT 99-2

RECONCILIATION BETWEEN GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES



The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain
non-GAAP performance measures and ratios, used in managing the business, may
provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons
between current results and results in prior operating periods. See the Table
below for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP
financial measures for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and March 31,
2002. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an
alternative for, the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
