PART III -- NARRATIVE
The Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 27,
1997 could not be filed within the prescribed time period because the Company
was unable, without unreasonable effort and expense, to finalize its
quarterly financial data due to the Company's relocation of its accounting
operations from its now closed Colorado Springs, Colorado facility to its
Irvine, California facility. All accounting personnel associated with the
Colorado Springs facility are no longer with the Company. The Company has
reconstructed its financial and accounting operations and is in the process
of completing the reporting for the quarter ended September 27, 1997.
The Company anticipates a significant change in operations from the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. For the prior fiscal year
quarter ended September 28, 1996 the Company reported a net loss of
$7,807,000. The loss for the current fiscal year quarter ended September 27,
1997 is expected to be much larger as a result of significantly reduced
sales, significant restructuring costs associated with the closing of its
Colorado Springs operations, adjustments to accounts receivable balances, and
reserves for excess and obsolete inventories, and other, less significant
reasons. Because of the complexities associated with the adjustments required
and the aforementioned relocation of the Company's accounting operations, it
is not possible to prepare a reasonable estimate of the results of operations
at this time.
