NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why 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: On October 5, 1998, the registrant and certain of
its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of issues associated with the bankruptcy,
the registrant has not been able to obtain certain information related to
the value of its assets. Such information is necessary to complete its financial
statements. As a result, the Company will not be able to file its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 on or before March 31,
1999. The registrant expects to file the Form 10-K on or before April 15, 1999.

Attachment A
It is anticipated that the earnings statement for the year ended December 31,
1998 will reflect a significant change in results of operations from the
corresponding period for the last fiscal year primarily due to losses incurred
on certain hedge and purchase commitments and expenses associated with the
bankruptcy. However, the Company has not been able to obtain certain
information related to the value of its assets. Such information is necessary to
complete its financial statements.
