FORM 12B-25: NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING OF 1934 ACT REPORTS
PART III - NARRATIVE
The Form 11-K Filing of the Bird Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan has
not been completed. Delay in delivery to the Registrant and its Consultant of
the Recordkeeping reports from the Trustee/Recordkeeper caused our Consultant
to be unable to compile the Plan Financials until early June, 1995. The
independent Auditors, Price Waterhouse LLP, have not been able to complete
their audit on the compiled financials and to render their opinion due to the
delays and the extent of audit necessary because of the large number of
separations and distributions from the Plan arising out of the sale of all but
one division of the Company during the past year. This cannot now be completed
before June 30, 1995 without unreasonable effort and expense. It is expected
that the review will be completed and the Form 11-K will be filed within
fifteen (15) days.
