Part III. Narrative
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
We are in the process of obtaining certain documents related to our
current credit facility and our ownership as a result of the acquisition of
a substantial amount of our public securities in December 1998. Our
independent accountants will not deliver an opinion or consent regarding
the financial statements to be included in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the period ended October 2, 1999 until we obtain such documents. We
cannot file our annual report on Form 10-K for the period ended October 2,
1999 until we obtain an opinion and consent from our independent
accountants. Therefore, we will be late in filing our annual report on Form
10-K for the period ended October 2, 1999. We will file our annual report
on Form 10-K for the period ended October 2, 1999 in less than 15 calendar
days after the original due date for such filing pursuant to Part II (b)
hereof. We could not eliminate the factors stated above without
unreasonable effort and expense.
