PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
On March 28, 1996, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the Registrant's
disclosure statement on the financial restructuring plan and gave the
Registrant permission to distribute the disclosure statement and solicit
votes on the plan.
On May 8, 1996, the voting on the plan ended. A vote tally showed
overwhelming approval of the financial restructuring plan from each of the
major voting groups.
A confirmation hearing to consider final approval of the Registrant's plan of
reorganization is scheduled for May 17, 1996 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in
Delaware. The Registrant expects that the plan will be approved by the court
and will become effective within two weeks following the hearing.
Accordingly, the Registrant anticipates filing its March 31, 1996 Form 10-Q
following an announcement of the results of the hearing. This
timing will permit the registrant to discuss in greater detail the
conclusion to their Chapter 11 Bankruptcy proceedings.
