This Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D heretofore filed on July 29, 2002 is filed by McElvaine Investment Management Ltd., a Canadian corporation ("MIML"), Hakuna Matata Holdings, Ltd., a Canadian holding company, ("HM Holdings"), Tim McElvaine, a Canadian citizen ("McElvaine"), Cundill Investment Research Ltd., a Canadian corporation ("CIR") and The Peter Cundill Trust, a trust organized under the laws of Bermuda ("Trust") (MIML, HM Holdings, McElvaine, CIR and Trust, are sometimes also referred to herein individually as a "Reporting Person" and collectively as "Reporting Persons"), to reflect the following amendments to Items 3 and 5:
ITEM 3 IS HEREBY AMENDED AND RESTATED IN ITS ENTIRETY TO READ AS FOLLOWS :

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Shares herein reported as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired by MIML directly acting solely on behalf of its investment advisory clients. MIML purchased a total of 3,022,000 Shares in open-market purchases for an aggregate consideration of $ 7,991,158.50 (exclusive of brokerage commissions). To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the funds used in such purchases were from existing available investment capital and none of the consideration for such Shares was represented by borrowed funds.

Individually, neither MIML, HM Holdings, McElvaine, CIR, or Trust, nor any of the investment advisory clients of MIML beneficially owns 5% or more of the Shares. Due to the investment management services provided by MIML to its investment advisory clients, MIML could be deemed a beneficial owner of all Shares purchased in the transactions described in subitems (1) and (2) above.

All dollar amounts are in United States dollars.
