The Registrant requires additional time to file the Form 10-K report
for the period ended December 31, 1996. On December 11, 1996 the
Company filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in connection with the signing of an asset purchase
agreement with Rockwell Semiconductor Systems, Inc.("Rockwell
Agreement"). The Registrant is unable to timely file its Form 10-K
report due to (i) the limited number of management personnel remaining
at the Registrant as it continues to curtail its operations, (ii)
changes in key management personnel during the last year, (iii) the
significant change in the Registrant's business during the period
covered by the report, and (iv) the demands associated with the
Bankruptcy proceedings, the consummation of the Rockwell Agreement and
winding up the affairs of the Registrant. However, the Form 10-K will
be filed on or before the date specified under Rule 12b-25.
