If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense

[x] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form

[x] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form

PART III--NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR, or portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed period.
In the third quarter of the year 2000, the Company completed a number
of transactions, including a tender offer for $50 million of its outstanding
11-3/4% Senior Notes due 2004 in August of 2000, the commencement of the
relocation of its principal place of business to the State of Florida throughout
the quarter and the negotiation of the sale of its cosmetics packaging division,
including all of the shares of one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries,
throughout the months of August and September. Furthermore, the Company has
recently launched a second tender offer for all of its outstanding 11-3/4%
Senior Notes due 2004 and anticipates closing the sale of its cosmetics
packaging division on or about November 14, 2000. These events have created a
significant burden on the Company's resources including certain unanticipated
difficulties in obtaining information which can not be obtained without
unreasonable effort or expense.
