and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1) promulgated by the Securities

Item 4.  Ownership:

         Item 4 of the Statement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
         with the following:

         (a)-(c). Each Reporting Person named in response to Item 2 hereof has,
         as of December 31, 2001, shared power to vote or to direct the vote and
         shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Common
         Stock as follows:

              Primus Capital Fund III Limited Partnership. PCF III has the
              -------------------------------------------
         shared power to vote and to dispose of 50,000 shares of Common Stock

         outstanding Common Stock.

              -----------------------------------------------

         by PCF III, which constitutes approximately .235% of the outstanding
         Common Stock. The filing of this Schedule 13G by PVP LP shall not be
         considered an admission that PVP LP is, for the purpose of Section
         13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of such shares held by
         PCF III.

              Primus Venture Partners, Inc. PVP Inc., as the sole general
              -----------------------------
         partner of PVP LP, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote and

         which constitutes approximately .235% of the outstanding Common Stock.
         The filing of this Schedule 13G by PVP Inc. shall not be considered an
         admission that PVP Inc. is, for the purpose of Section 13(g) of the
         Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of such shares held by PCF III.

              PVP Inc. has four shareholders and directors, Loyal W. Wilson,
         James T. Bartlett, William C. Mulligan and Jonathan E. Dick. Loyal W.
         Wilson also holds 15,500 shares of Common Stock and has stock options
         to purchase 34,000 shares of Common Stock (10,000 shares are still
         subject to vesting).


              Pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, the Reporting
         Persons may be deemed as a group to have beneficial ownership of 50,000
         shares of Common Stock, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
         held by the Reporting Persons, representing approximately .235% of the

          Company's last filed 10Q on November 14, 2001. Each Reporting Person
          expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock
          beneficially owned by each other Reporting Person.

Item 5.   Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:

          If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the
          date hereof each of the Reporting Persons has ceased to be the
          beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities,
