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.)
On April 11, 2000, the Registrant acquired a substantial portion of the
equity interest in a joint venture which previously had been accounted for on
the equity method. The Registrant is required to include the financial
statements of its former joint venture and present subsidiary in the
Registrant's consolidated financial statements.
As a consequence, the Registrant has experienced unexpected delay in the
preparation and audit of the Registrant's consolidated financial statements for
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000 in order to assure the accuracy of its financial
statements and disclosures. Accordingly, the Registrant is unable to file its
report on Form 10-K within the prescribed period.
The Registrant expects to file its report on Form 10-K significantly in
advance of the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
