Part I-Item 1  Business

General:  Union Bankshares, Inc. ("Union" or the "Company") is a two-bank
holding company whose subsidiaries are Citizens Savings Bank & Trust Company
("Citizens") and Union Bank.  It was incorporated in the State of Vermont in
1982.  Citizens was chartered under Vermont law in 1887 as a State bank and
is headquartered in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.  Citizens became a wholly owned
subsidiary of Union on November 30, 1999 through a transaction accounted
for as a pooling of interests but kept its separate name and banking
franchise.  Union Bank was organized and chartered as a State bank in 1891
and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Union in 1982 upon its formation.
Union and Union Bank are headquartered in Morrisville, Vermont.

On February 18, 2003, Union announced the proposed merger of Union Bank and
Citizens. The merger, which is expected to be completed on or about May 1,
2003 (subject to regulatory approval), will not result in the closure of any
branch offices as the market areas of the two banks do not generally overlap.

During 2002, Union had two definable business segments, Citizens and Union
Bank, which both generally operate in the same line of business; commercial
banking, and in similar economic environments in Northern Vermont.  Citizens
has 46 full time equivalent employees while Union Bank has 116.  Union, itself,
does not have any paid employees.

Union's income is derived principally from interest on loans and earnings
on other investments.  Its primary expenses arise from interest paid on
deposits and borrowings and general overhead expenses.  The consolidated
assets of Union have grown from $ 273 million to $ 343 million over the
last five years or 25.7 % while our total consolidated deposits have grown
from $ 239 million to $ 293 million or 22.6 % during that same period.
Please refer to our schedule of Selected Financial Data, which has been
restated for all periods for the pooling of interest acquisition of
Citizens, at Item 6 of this annual report for further details.

The deposits of both banks are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") up to legal limits (generally
$100,000 per depositor).

In addition to its commercial banking business, Citizens offers a full line
of personal trust services to its customers.  Previously Union Bank had
operated its own trust department, but those operations were transferred to
Citizens in late 2000.  Union Bank will resume its fiduciary operations
upon completion of its merger with Citizens in 2003. Assets held in fiduciary
capacity by Citizens' trust department are not included in Union's
consolidated balance sheet for financial reporting purposes other than trust
cash on deposit.

Competition:  Union and its two subsidiaries face substantial competition
for loans and deposits in their market areas from local commercial banks,
savings banks, credit unions, and financial services affiliates of bank
holding companies, as well as from national financial service providers
such as mutual funds, brokerage houses, consumer finance companies and
internet banks.  Union anticipates continued strong competition from such
financial institutions for the foreseeable future.  Within Union's market
area are branches of several commercial and savings banks that are
substantially larger than Union.  Both the subsidiary banks focus on their
community banking niche and on providing convenient hours and modes of
delivery to provide superior customer service.  Union competes for
checking, savings, money market accounts and other deposits by offering
depositors competitive rates, personal service, local area expertise,
convenient locations and access, and an array of financial services and
products.

The competition in originating real estate and other loans comes
principally from commercial banks, mortgage banking companies and credit
unions.  Union competes for loan originations primarily through the
interest rates and loan fees it charges, the types of loans it offers, and
the efficiency and quality of services it provides.  In addition to
residential mortgage lending and municipal loans, Union also emphasizes
commercial real estate, construction, and both conventional and Small
Business Administration ("SBA") guaranteed commercial lending.  Union Bank
is a preferred SBA Lender. Factors that affect Union's ability to compete
for loans include general and local economic conditions, prevailing interest
rates including the "prime" rate, and pricing volatility of the secondary loan
markets.  Union attempts to promote an increased level of personal service
and expertise within the community to position itself as a lender to small
to middle market business and residential customers, which tend to be
under-served by larger institutions.

Union competes through Citizens for personal trust business with trust
companies, commercial banks having trust departments, investment advisory
firms, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. It is the
intention of Union to continue this business strategy.

Management's operational strategy includes continued evaluation of changing
market needs and design and implementation of products and services to meet
those needs.  The directors and management of Union intend to continue to
offer products and services that will allow Union to manage responsibly the
growth of its assets, while building and


<PAGE>  3


enhancing stockholder value and preserve Citizens' and Union Bank's images
as premiere Vermont community banks.

The competitive environment for financial institutions has undergone
significant change in recent years and that trend is likely to continue in
light of changes in applicable law (see "Financial Services Modernization"
below) which permit the integration of the historically separate banking,
insurance and securities industries.  Credit unions are becoming an
increasingly significant source of competition. Credit union common bond
requirements and the definition of a credit union "member" has been
interpreted liberally by federal and state credit union regulations, allowing
greater penetration into traditional banking markets.  In February of 2003,
SBA expanded the eligibility of certain lenders programs to include all credit
unions. Competitive change is also occurring due to rapid technological
advances which increasingly permit the delivery of financial products and
services without the need for a physical presence in the market area served
and which also are likely to diminish the importance of financial
intermediaries, such as banks, in the transfer of funds between parties.

Regulation and Supervision:  As Vermont-chartered commercial banks, each
subsidiary is subject to regulation, examination, and supervision by the
Vermont Banking Department and the FDIC.  Regular examinations of Union
Bank and Citizens by the Vermont Banking Department and the FDIC include
examination of the banks' financial condition and operations, including but
not limited to their capital adequacy, loan reserves, loans, investments,
earnings, liquidity, compliance with laws and regulations, record of
performance under the federal Community Reinvestment Act of 1997 ("CRA"),
and the performance of their management.

In addition Union, as a bank holding company, is subject to regulation,
examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.  The regulations
of these authorities govern certain of the operations of Union and its
subsidiaries.  The following discussion summarizes the material aspects of
various federal and state banking laws and regulations that apply to Union,
Citizens, and Union Bank.

Union is also under the jurisdiction of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") for matters relating to the offering and sale of its
securities as well as investor reporting requirements.  Union's common stock
is listed on the American Stock Exchange ("AMEX") under the trading symbol
"UNB" and is therefore subject to the rules of AMEX for listed companies.

Bank Holding Company Acquisitions and Activities.  As a bank holding
company, Union is subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board") under
the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act").  Under
the BHC Act, the activities of bank holding companies, such as Union, and
those of companies that they control, such as Union Bank and Citizens, or
in which they hold more than 5% of the voting stock, are limited to
banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or
performing services for their subsidiaries, or certain activities that the
Federal Reserve Board has determined to be so closely related to banking or
managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto.  As
described below, a bank holding company that has elected to become a
"financial holding company" under the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial
Modernization Act of 1999 ("Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act") may engage in certain
additional activities.  Bank holding companies such as Union that have not
elected to become financial holding companies, are required to obtain the
prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to engage in any new activity
or to acquire more than 5% of any class of voting stock of any bank or
other company.

The Federal Reserve Board has authority to issue cease and desist orders to
prevent or terminate unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of
law or regulations and to assess civil money penalties against bank holding
companies and their subsidiaries and other affiliates.  The Federal Reserve
Board also has the authority to remove officers, directors and other
institution-affiliated parties.


<PAGE>  4


Financial Services Modernization.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act permits
eligible bank holding companies to elect to become financial holding
companies and thereby engage in a broader range of activities than is
permitted to bank holding companies generally.  Under the Gramm-Leach-
Bliley Act, a financial holding company may engage in activities that are
"financial in nature," which includes securities underwriting, dealing and
market making, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance
underwriting, merchant banking and additional activities that the Federal
Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury,
determines to be financial in nature, or incident or complementary to such
financial activities, provided that such activities do not pose a
substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or
the financial system generally.  The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act effectively
permits the integration, under a financial holding company umbrella, of
firms engaged in banking, insurance and securities activities, and preempts
state laws that purport to limit or prohibit such affiliations.  No
regulatory approval is required for a financial holding company to acquire
a company, other than a bank or savings association, engaged in permitted
activities.

In order to become a financial holding company, all of the bank holding
company's bank subsidiaries must be well-capitalized and well-managed under
applicable regulatory guidelines, and each of such banks must have been
rated "Satisfactory" or better in its most recent evaluation under the
federal CRA.  Once a bank holding company has elected to be treated as a
financial holding company, it may face significant consequences if it
subsequently fails to meet one or more of the criteria for eligibility.
For example, it may be required to enter into an agreement with the Federal
Reserve Board imposing limitations on its operations and requiring
divestitures.  In addition, the need to maintain eligibility could hamper a
financial holding company's ability to expand or to acquire financial
institutions that do not meet the required criteria.

As of March 14, 2003, Union has not elected to become a financial holding
company.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  In 2002, legislation known as the "Sarbanes-
Oxley Act of 2002" (the "Act") was enacted.  This far reaching legislation was
generally intended to protect investors by improving the accuracy and
reliability of corporate disclosures made pursuant to the securities laws. Some
of the areas addressed by the Act include the establishment of a 5 member
accounting oversight board to be appointed by the SEC; the promulgation of
requirements relating to auditor independence, corporate governance, corporate
and criminal fraud accountability; and enhanced disclosure requirements
pertaining to corporate operations, internal controls and certification
of financial statements.  Final rules under the Act are still being
promulgated, with varying effective dates.

Source of Strength.  Under Federal Reserve Board policy, bank holding
companies, such as Union, are expected to act as a source of financial
strength to their subsidiary banks, such as Union Bank and Citizens, and to
commit resources to support them.  This support may be called for at times
when a bank holding company may not have the required resources to do so.

Interstate Banking.  The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 permits bank holding companies to acquire banks
based outside their home states, generally without regard to whether the
state's law would permit the acquisition.  The Act also authorizes banks to
merge across state lines thereby creating interstate branches.  In
addition, the Act permits banks to acquire existing interstate branches
(short of merger) or to establish new interstate branches.  States were
given the right, exercisable before June 1, 1997, to prohibit altogether or
impose certain limitations on interstate mergers and the acquisition or
establishment of interstate branches.  None of the states contiguous to
Vermont (New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts) has in effect any
statute which would substantially impede the ability of a Vermont bank to
acquire or create interstate branches directly or through an interstate
merger.  Similarly, Vermont law does not limit the ability of out-of-state
banks to acquire or create branches in Vermont.  Although interstate
banking and branching may result in increased competitive pressures in the
markets in which Union operates, interstate branching may present
competitive opportunities for locally-owned and managed banks, such as
Union Bank and Citizens, that are familiar with the local markets and that
emphasize personal service and prompt, local decision-making.

Affiliate Restrictions.  Bank holding companies and their affiliates are
subject to certain restrictions under the Federal Reserve Act in their
dealings with each other, such as in connection with extensions of credit,
transfers of assets, and purchase of services among affiliated parties.
Generally, loans or extensions of credit, investments or purchases of
assets by a subsidiary bank from a bank holding company or its affiliates
are limited to 10% of the bank's capital and surplus with respect to each
affiliate and to 20% in the aggregate for all affiliates, and borrowings
are also subject to certain collateral requirements.  These transactions,
as well as other transactions between a subsidiary bank and its holding
company or other affiliates must generally be on arms-length terms, that
is, on terms comparable to those involving nonaffiliated companies.
Further, under the Federal Reserve Act and Federal Reserve Board
regulations, a bank holding company and its subsidiaries are prohibited
from engaging in certain tie-in-arrangements in connection with extensions
of credit or furnishing of property or services to third parties.  Union,
Union Bank and Citizens are subject to these restrictions in their
intercompany transactions.

Banks.  The various laws and regulations applicable to Citizens and Union Bank
that are administered by the FDIC and the Vermont Banking Commissioner
affect the banks' corporate practices, such as payment of dividends,
incurring of debt and acquisition of financial institutions and other
companies.  These laws also affect their business practices, such as
payment of interest on deposits, the charging of interest on loans, privacy
issues and the location of offices.  There are no outstanding regulatory
orders resulting from regulatory examinations of Union, Union Bank or
Citizens.

Dividend Limitations.  As a holding company, Union's ability to pay
dividends to its stockholders is largely dependent on the ability of its
subsidiaries to pay dividends to it.  Payment of dividends by Vermont-
chartered banks, such as Union Bank and Citizens, is subject to applicable
state and federal laws.  Under Vermont banking laws, a Vermont-chartered
bank may not authorize dividends or other distributions which would reduce the
bank's capital below the amount of capital required in the bank's
Certificate of General Good or under any capital or surplus standards
established by the Vermont Banking Commissioner.  Union Bank and Citizens
do not have any capital restrictions in their Certificates of General Good
and, to date, the Vermont Banking Commissioner has not adopted capital or
surplus standards.  Nevertheless, the capital standards established by the
FDIC, described below under "Capital Requirements," apply to both Union
Bank and Citizens, and the capital standards of the Federal Reserve Board
apply to Union on a consolidated basis.  In addition, the Federal Reserve
Board, the FDIC and the Vermont Banking Commissioner are authorized under
applicable federal and state laws to prohibit payment of dividends that
they determine would be an unsafe or unsound practice.  Payment of
dividends that deplete the capital of a bank or a bank holding company, or
render it illiquid, could be found to be an unsafe or unsound practice.

Capital Requirements.  The Federal Reserve Board, the FDIC and other
federal banking regulators have issued substantially similar risk-based and
leverage capital guidelines for United States Banking organizations.  Those
regulatory agencies are also authorized to require that a banking
organization maintain capital above the minimum levels, whether because of
its financial condition or actual or anticipated growth.  The Federal
Reserve Board's risk-based capital guidelines define a three-tier capital
framework and specify three relevant capital ratios: Tier 1 Capital Ratio,
a Total Capital Ratio and a "Leverage Ratio."  Tier 1 Capital consists of
common and qualifying preferred stockholders' equity, less certain
intangibles and other adjustments.  The remainder (Tier 2 and Tier 3
Capital) consists of subordinate and other qualifying debt, preferred stock
that does not qualify as Tier 1 Capital, and the allowance of credit losses
up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.

The sum of Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 Capital, less investments in
unconsolidated subsidiaries, represents qualifying "Total Capital," at
least 50% of which must consist of Tier 1 Capital.  Risk-based capital
ratios are calculated by dividing Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital by risk-
weighted assets.  Assets and off-balance sheet exposures are assigned to
one of four categories or risk weights, based primarily on relative credit
risk.  The minimum Tier 1 Capital Ratio is 4% and the minimum Total Capital
Ratio is 8%.  The Leverage Ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 Capital
by adjusted average total assets.  Although the minimum Leverage Ratio is
3%, most banking organizations are required to maintain Leverage Ratios of
at least 1 to 2 percentage points above 3%.

Federal bank regulatory agencies require banking organizations that engage
in significant trading activity to calculate a capital charge for market
risk.  Significant trading activity means trading activity of at least 10%
of total assets or $1 billion, whichever is smaller, calculated on a
consolidated basis for bank holding companies.  Federal bank regulators may
apply the market risk measure to other bank holding companies, as the
agency deems necessary or appropriate for safe and sound banking practices.
Each agency may exclude organizations that it supervises that otherwise
meet the criteria under certain circumstances.  The market risk charge will
be included in the calculation of an organization's risk-based capital
ratio.  Neither Union, Union Bank, nor Citizens is currently subject to
this special capital charge.

Federal Reserve Board policy provides that banking organizations generally,
and, in particular, those that are experiencing internal growth or actively
making acquisitions, will be expected to maintain strong capital positions
substantially above the minimum supervisory levels, without significant
reliance on intangible assets, such as goodwill.  Furthermore, the capital
guidelines indicate that the Federal Reserve Board will continue to
consider a "Tangible Tier 1 Leverage Ratio" in evaluating proposals for
expansion or new activities.  The Tangible Tier 1 Leverage Ratio is
calculated by dividing a banking organization's Tier 1 Capital less all
intangible assets by its total consolidated quarterly average assets less
all intangible assets.


<PAGE>  6


The Federal Reserve Board's capital adequacy guidelines generally provide
that bank holding companies with a ratio of intangible assets to tangible
Tier 1 Capital in excess of 25% will be subject to close scrutiny for
certain purposes, including the Federal Reserve Board's evaluation of
acquisition proposals.  Union does not have a material amount of
intangibles in its capital base.

Prompt Corrective Action.   At December 31, 2002, Union's consolidated
Total and Tier I Risk-Based Capital Ratios were 17.99 % and 16.74 %,
respectively, and its Leverage Capital Ratio was 11.03 %, and is considered
well-capitalized under the above regulatory guidelines.  In addition, both
Union Bank and Citizens are considered well-capitalized under such
guidelines.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA"), among other things, identifies five capital categories for
insured depository institutions (well capitalized, adequately capitalized,
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically
undercapitalized) and requires the respective federal banking agencies to
implement systems for "prompt corrective action" for insured depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements.  FDICIA imposes
progressively more restrictive constraints on operations, management and
capital distributions, depending on the category in which an institution is
classified.  Failure to meet the capital guidelines could also subject a
banking institution to capital raising requirements.  An "undercapitalized"
bank must develop a capital restoration plan and its parent holding company
must guarantee that bank's compliance with the plan.  The liability of the
parent holding company under any such guarantee is limited to the lesser of
5% of the bank's assets at the time it became undercapitalized or the
amount needed to comply with the plan.  Furthermore, in the event of the
bankruptcy of the parent holding company, such guarantee would take
priority over the parent's general unsecured creditors.  In addition,
FDICIA requires the various federal banking agencies to prescribe certain
noncapital standards for safety and soundness related generally to
operations and management, asset quality and executive compensation, and
permits regulatory action against a financial institution that does not
meet such standards.

The various federal banking agencies have adopted substantially similar
regulations that define the five capital categories identified by FDICIA,
using the Total Capital, Tier 1 Ratio and the Leverage Ratio as the
relevant capital measures.  Such regulations establish various degrees of
corrective action to be taken when an institution is considered
undercapitalized.  Under the regulations, a "well capitalized" institution
must have a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6%, a total capital ratio of
at least 10% and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to a
capital directive order.  An "adequately capitalized" institution must have
a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4%, a total capital ratio of at least 8%
and a leverage ratio of at least 4%, or 3% in some cases.

Community Reinvestment Act.  Union Bank and Citizens are subject to
the federal CRA, which requires banks to demonstrate their commitment to
serving the credit needs of low and moderate income residents of their
communities.  Both banks participate in a variety of direct and indirect
lending programs and other investments for the benefit of the low and
moderate income residents in our communities.  The FDIC conducts
examinations of insured banks' compliance with CRA requirements and rates
institutions as "Outstanding," "Satisfactory," "Needs to Improve," and
"Substantial Non-Compliance."  Failure of an institution to receive at
least a "Satisfactory" CRA rating could adversely affect its ability to
undertake certain activities, such as acquisitions of other financial
institutions, which require regulatory approval based, in part, on the
institution's record of CRA compliance.  In addition, failure of a bank
subsidiary to receive at least a "Satisfactory" rating would disqualify a
bank holding company from eligibility to become or remain a financial
holding company under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. (See "Financial
Modernization" above.)  At their last CRA compliance examinations by the
FDIC, Union Bank received a rating of "Outstanding" and Citizens received a
rating of "Satisfactory."

Deposit Insurance Premium Assessments.  Under applicable federal laws and
regulations, deposit insurance premium assessments to the Bank Insurance
Fund ("BIF") and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") are based
on a supervisory risk rating system, with the most favorably rated
institutions paying the lowest premiums.  The deposits of Union Bank and
Citizens are insured under the BIF.  As "well capitalized" institutions,
both banks are presently in the most favorable deposit insurance assessment
category, and pay the minimum deposit premium assessment.

FDICIA Cross-Guarantees.  Under the cross-guarantee provisions of FDICIA,
in some circumstances in the event of a loss suffered or anticipated by the
FDIC-either as a result of a bank's insolvency or FDIC assistance provided
to


<PAGE>  7


a bank in danger of default-the FDIC may assess other banks within the
holding company family to recoup its losses to the deposit insurance fund.

Brokered Deposits.  FDICIA restricts the ability of an FDIC-insured bank to
accept brokered deposits unless it is a well-capitalized institution under
FDICIA's prompt corrective action guidelines.  Although eligible to do so,
neither Union Bank nor Citizens have accepted brokered deposits.

Consumer Protection Laws.  In connection with their lending activities,
both Union Bank and Citizens are subject to a variety of federal and state
laws designed to protect borrowers and to promote lending to various
sectors of the economy and population.  In addition to the provisions of
the CRA (discussed above), Union Bank and Citizens are subject to, among
other laws, the federal Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the federal Real
Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the federal Truth-in-Lending Act, the
federal and Vermont Equal Credit Opportunity Acts, and the federal and
Vermont Fair Credit Reporting Acts.

Both Union Bank and Citizens are subject to the provisions of Title V of
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which require each of them to notify their consumer
customers of their information collection and sharing practices and
restrict those practices in certain respects.  In addition, both banks are
subject to similar, but more restrictive requirements of the Vermont
Banking Department.  Generally those Vermont requirements prohibit the
disclosure of consumer information to nonaffiliated third parties without
the express written consent of the consumer, except for disclosures
permitted under specified regulatory exceptions.

The deposit taking activities of Union Bank and Citizens are subject to
various federal and state requirements, including those mandating uniform
disclosures to depositors with respect to rates of interest, fees and other
terms of consumer deposit accounts, and disclosure of their policies on
the availability of deposited funds.

Bank Secrecy Act Compliance.  Union Bank and Citizens are subject to
federal laws establishing certain record keeping, customer identification,
and reporting requirements pertaining to large cash transactions, sales
of travelers checks and other monetary instruments, and the international
transfer of cash or monetary instruments.  New provisions, designed to help
combat international terrorism, were added in 2001 to the Bank Secrecy Act
by the USA Patriot Act.  These provisions impose due diligence standards on
banks in opening correspondent accounts of foreign off-shore banks and
banks in jurisdictions that have been found to fall significantly below
international anti-money laundering standards.  In addition, U.S. banks are
prohibited from opening correspondent accounts for off-shore shell banks,
defined as banks that have no physical presence and that are not part of a
regulated and recognized banking company.  The USA Patriot Act requires all
financial institutions to adopt money laundering programs.  In addition,
the USA Patriot Act amended certain provisions of the federal Right to
Financial Privacy Act to facilitate the access of law enforcement to bank
customer records in connection with investigating international terrorism.

Part I-Item 2  Properties

As of December 31, 2002, Union's subsidiaries operated 12 community-banking
locations which are in Lamoille, Caledonia and Franklin counties of Vermont.
Eight of these branch locations are Union Bank's and four are Citizens'.
Citizens opened a loan production office in Littleton, New Hampshire in May
of 2001.  Together they also operate 28 automated teller machines (ATM's)
in northern Vermont.  The Company owns nine of its branch locations and
leases the other branches, the Littleton Loan Center and certain ATM premises
from third parties under terms and conditions considered by management to be
favorable to the Company.

Additional information relating to the Company's properties is set forth in
Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements and incorporated herein by
reference.

Part I-Item 3  Legal Proceedings

There are no known pending legal proceedings to which Union or any of its
subsidiaries is a party, or to which any of their properties is subject,
other than ordinary litigation arising in the normal course of business
activities.  Although the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to
such proceedings cannot be determined, in the opinion


<PAGE>  8


of management, based upon the opinion of counsel, any such liability will
not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of Union
and its subsidiaries.

Part I-Item 4  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the
fourth quarter of 2002.

Part II-Item 5  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters

disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and Rule
15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of a date within 90 days of the filing

There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors known to the Company that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to their evaluation. While the Company believes that the existing
disclosure controls and procedures have been effective to accomplish these
objectives, the Company intends to continue to examine, refine and formalize
its disclosure controls and procedures and to monitor ongoing developments in
this area.
