The filing of our Form 11K for the referenced Plans will not be made by
September 30, 1997, due to a delay in receiving reconciled reports from
the Trustee, Fleet Bank. Consequently, the preparation of the financial
statements and the audit thereon has been delayed. It is our intention
to have the reports filed within 15 days.
During the Plan year ended March 31, 1997, Fleet Bank and Shawmut Bank, our
prior Trustee, merged requiring conversion of both the Trust accounting
and participant recordkeeping systems.
