(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, management of the Company has
engaged in an assessment of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. In connection with management's assessment, the Company has recently
furnished certain documentation to the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm. Because the date on which the Company furnished such
documentation has not enabled the Company's independent registered public
accounting firm to complete its review and testing of such documentation and the
independent registered public accounting firm has requested additional
documentation, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will
not be able to issue its audit report on the Company's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 by March 16, 2005. As a result,
the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2004 within the time period prescribed for such report without
unreasonable effort or expense. A statement from the Company's independent
registered public accounting firm with respect to these matters is furnished as
Exhibit 1 to this form.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from

earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
Yes |X| No |_|
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
On February 23, 2005, the Company announced its financial results for
its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, a copy of the press
release was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
February 24, 2005. The Company anticipates that the financial results for the
year and quarter ended December 31, 2004 will be as reflected in such press
release. As previously announced, for the year ended December 31, 2004, income
from continuing operations was
$10.2 million or $1.34 per diluted share, compared to $9.8 million or $1.28 per
diluted share in 2003. The Company's total revenues for 2004 were $121.0
million, compared to $105.6 million in 2003, an increase of $15.4 million or
14.5%. The Company's revenue growth was primarily driven by its PCS business.
Operating income for 2004 was $19.6 million, an increase of $1.0 million or 5.4%
from 2003. The increase is primarily a result of continued growth in PCS
operations offset by the adjustments recorded in the fourth quarter 2003.
