This Amendment No. 1 responds to comments of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its review of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2005.  This Amendment No. 1 does not affect the original financial statements or footnotes as originally filed.  This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events that have occurred after the original filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 9, 2005 and does not modify or update the disclosures in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed in any way except with regard to the specific modifications described in this Explanatory Note.  Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as a result of this Amendment No. 1, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 and Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, filed and furnished, respectively, as exhibits to the original filing, have been re-executed and refiled as of the date of this Amendment No. 1 and are included as Exhibits 31.3, 31.4 and 32.1 hereto.  Therefore, Part II, Item 6. of the original filing has been amended to reflect the new certifications described above.

PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION  Item 4.
        Controls and Procedures  A.
        Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of June 30, 2005, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2005.  This conclusion was reached solely due to a material weakness resulting from a failure to ensure the correct application of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104  Revenue Recognition when the revenue from sale transactions with certain of our international customers was initially recognized in a manner that was inconsistent with the shipping terms of Delivered Duty Paid.    2      We are confident that, as of September 30, 2005, we have fully remediated the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to accounting for these sale transactions.  The remedial actions included: 
        Improved training, education and accounting reviews designed to ensure that all relevant personnel involved in sale transactions understand and apply proper revenue recognition accounting in compliance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104  Revenue Recognition; and
        Reviewing all shipping terms, other than FOB shipping point, to ensure proper revenue recognition with current contracts; and
        Adding controls around changes to shipping terms, other than FOB shipping point, and monitoring shipping terms periodically; and
        Reviewing all new contracts to ensure that proper revenue recognition occurs.  As of September 30, 2005, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon that evaluation, which considered the material weakness and the remediation set forth above, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.    3        PART II  OTHER INFORMATION  Item 6.
