State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The registrant has recently consummated a number of acquisitions (both before
and after December 31, 1999) and management, in addition to their regular year
end reports, has had to consolidate and integrate different reporting systems
into the registrant's financial reporting system and account for a significantly
greater number of reportable transactions than prior years. The registrant's
annual report was filed with the Commission after 5:30 p.m. on March 30, 2000,
which was the last day for filing timely, and is therefore deemed filed on
March 31.
