PART II - RULES 12B-25(B) AND (C)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should
be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
expense;
[X] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report
on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof,
will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following
the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report of
transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed
on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due
date; and
(c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.
PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
The Registrant's executive officers have been engaged in extensive
discussions with a third party regarding the publicly announced,
possible sale of a segment of the Registrant's business. The
individuals conducting these discussions include senior members of the
Registrant's finance department who also are responsible for
preparation of reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Due
to the time and effort devoted to these discussions and the complex
nature of the accounting analysis necessary to evaluate the impact of
the proposed disposition on the Registrant's financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 1999, the Registrant is unable to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999 within
the prescribed time period.
