PART II - RULES 12b-25 (b) AND (c)
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)
[X] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
expense;
[ ] (b) The subject annual report or semi-annual report/portion
thereof will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day
following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly
report/portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth
calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
[ ] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the 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 March 10, 2000, the Registrant filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware. In recent months, many of the employees of the Registrant
historically responsible for the preparation of the Registrant's financial
statements have left the Registrant's employ. The Company's remaining
management, financial and accounting staff now devotes a significant portion of
its time to developing and implementing the Company's revised liquidation plan
and to administering the Chapter 11 Case including, among other things,
preparing detailed financial budgets, formulating and preparing disclosure
materials relating to the Chapter 11 Case, analyzing accounts payable and
receivable, assembling data for the Company's schedule of assets and liabilities
and statement of financial affairs to be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and
preparing the Monthly Operating Reports for the Bankruptcy Court and United
States Trustee. Furthermore, the new and remaining staff members have had to
assume tasks and responsibilities previously handled by others. As a result, the
Registrant will be unable to prepare and file on a timely basis its annual
report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2000 (the "Form 10-K").
The Registrant is endeavoring to prepare the Form 10-K and plans to file the
report as soon as practicable; however, no assurance can be given that the Form
10-K will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the
prescribed due date.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification:

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
please identity report(s). [X] Yes No [ ]
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the 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 can not be made.
The Registrant expects that it will report a significant loss for the
fiscal year ended January 3, 2000. This loss will include certain operational
and extraordinary matters and results from the Registrant's terminating
operations in many of the markets in which it operated previously and
significantly downsizing its operations. The Registrant estimates the total loss
for the fiscal year to be $95,563,000.
