The largest single cause for rejection was the malfunction that affected 5 CCDs of the $R_{\rm eros}$ passband camera starting in January 2002. We have thus chosen to reject all measurements taken in 2002 and 2003 for these 5 CCDs.

Note that there exists a third, unpublished, microlensing candidate toward the SMC, OGLE-2005-SMC-001 (http://bulge.astro.princeton.edu/~ogle/). Its long timescale (>$150~\rm d$), large amplification (>12) and bright source (I = 18.2) offer the prospect of completely resolving the microlensing parameters degeneracy through measurements of lightcurve deformations, e.g. of that due to parallax.
