State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
As previously described in the Registrants Form 8-K dated April 9, 1998,
Registrant filed a petition for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code on March 23, 1998. As a result of this action and the
substantial turnover in its senior management positions, including the
resignation of its Chairman and CEO and its Senior Vice President of Accounting,
Registrant has been unable to complete and file its annual report on Form 10-K
for fiscal year 1997 without unreasonable effort and expense. At this time,
Registrant has no estimate of the date when the Form 10-K will be completed.
