portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.
The registrant's former Chief Financial Officer, Roger R. Faust, resigned
effective January 10, 1997. The registrant was unable to fill this position
again until June 11, 1997, when Michael A. Mallaro assumed the position of Vice
President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer. Despite the registrant's
reasonable efforts to prepare and file the report on Form 10-Q for the three
months ended May 3, 1997, within the prescribed time period, the registrant was
prevented from doing so by the
