State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 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.
In August 1996, the sale of Perfect Fit Industries, Inc., a subsidiary of
Fomex L.P., was consummated. As a result of this sale, the registrants were
required to restate for discontinued operations the financial statements,
footnotes and other disclosures required in the Form 10-K for all periods
presented. The Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 1996 could not
be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or
expense due to the amount of time required to prepare these financial
statements and disclosures in this Form 10-K.
