Attachment
The Registrant has been working with its advisors to develop a full
plan to reorganize its operations and its capitalization. The development of
this plan has required the Registrant to devote considerable resources,
including the attention of key financial and operating personnel. This plan may
materially affect the description of the Registrant's ongoing business,
properties and liquidity and capital resources to be included in the
Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K and has delayed the finalization of the
Form 10-K. For these reasons, the Registrant has been unable to file its annual
report on Form 10-K on a timely basis without unreasonable effort and expense.
