State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
The Registrant has not yet obtained all information required to complete
its financial statements. The Registrant is therefore unable to file the current
Form 10-Q in a timely fashion, but anticipates filing within five calendar days.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from

earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
The Registrant expects to report net sales of $50,170,000 for the third
quarter ended September 25, 1999 versus $60,454,000 in the comparable period in
1998 primarily as a result of delays in shipments due to Hurricane Floyd and the
recent conversion of the registrant's computer system. As a consequence of the
delays in sales and of higher operating expenses due to a shift in emphasis of
its business to branded products, the Registrant expects to report a net (loss)
for the period of $792,000, or ($.14) per diluted share as compared to net
earnings of $2,081,000, or $.37 per diluted share, in the prior year's
comparable quarter.
