DE-REGISTRATION
The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 is to amend
our Registration Statement on Form S-3 initially filed on May 1,
2001 and subsequently declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (No. 333-59870).
All 133,690 shares registered pursuant to the Registration
Statement have been sold. Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the
Registration Statement was filed on August 20, 2003 to de-register
all of the shares of our Common Stock that were registered but not
sold pursuant to the Registration Statement as of the date of
filing. Because all such shares have been sold, there are no
shares to de-register and the Registrant hereby withdraws its
request made pursuant to Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to be
signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized,
in the City of Houston, State of Texas, on November 21, 2003.
