Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
by the earnings statement to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
Results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000 are
significantly lower than the same period in 1999 primarily due to recognition of
a $5.5 million write-down in connection with the Company's previously announced
closure of manufacturing facilities, as well as $3.1 million lower operating
income resulting from increased operating costs and more competitive sales
discounts and rebates. In addition to the above, the Company expects to record
material unfavorable adjustments stemming from an ongoing review of certain
inventory and rebate-related liability balances.
