Securities quoted on the OTCBB as of January 4, 1999 will be phased into compliance with the new based upon the following schedule. The NASD will use the issue symbol as it appeared in the OTCBB quotation system on January 4, 1999 to determine where a particular issue falls in the schedule. Subsequent symbol changes will not be considered in determining an issuer's phase-in date. This schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the NASD. The Phase-in schedule, originally posted on January 20, 1999, has been modified in order to alleviate the large number of system changes currently required at the beginning of each month.

· Beginning with the October 1999 Phase-in Group, half of the monthly symbol   changes and deletions occurred in the first full week and the other half occurred in   the third full week of each month. The month in which each issuer is scheduled to   be phased-in to comply with the Eligibility Rule has not changed.
