PR Newswire's EDGAR Express Electronic Filing service.

Our aim has been to achieve quality service, fast turnaround time, accuracy, efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The PR Newswire EDGAR Express service provides timely and efficient filings of documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Background on Electronic Filing Requirements
As of November 4, 2002, foreign private issuers and foreign governments have been required to file their documents with the SEC through EDGAR electronically, instead of by paper filings.

EDGAR only accepts electronic filings converted into ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), or in HTML (HyperText Markup Language ). The formatting process or "EDGARizing" includes additional submission information and coding "tags" within the document for aid in the SEC's analysis of the document and retrieval by the public.

Filing through EDGAR allows companies and individuals to file and the public to retrieve disclosure information electronically, primarily through the SEC's EDGAR archive Web site found at http://www.sec.gov
