filed within the prescribed time period.
The registrant is currently involved in a pending merger with a
privately held company. The preparation of the materials for the
pending merger has taken substantial time and effort from the

registrant will be unable to complete its Form 10-Q for the period
ending April 3, 1998 without unreasonable effort or expense prior to the
due date. The registrant undertakes to file its Form 10-Q for the
period ending April 3, 1998 within 5 calendar days following the
prescribed due date of May 18, 1998.
