The undersigned registrant hereby amends and restates Item 7 of its Current
Report on Form 8-K dated October 16, 1998 to read in its entirety as follows:
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
The undersigned registrant is unable to file the financial
information required by Item 7(a) of Form 8-K at this time and is
excluding the required information in reliance on Rule 12b-21
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
information required to compile the financial statements rests
peculiarly within the knowledge of an unaffiliated third party
and is not known or reasonably available to the registrant at
this time. Although the registrant has made every reasonable
effort on a timely basis to obtain the necessary information from
such third party, the registrant has no means to control the
unaffiliated third party. While the unaffiliated third party has
provided limited information to the registrant, the unaffiliated
third party has reported that other necessary information is not
readily available to it and that it is working to obtain such
information. As soon as is practicable after receipt of the
necessary information from the unaffiliated third party, the
registrant will file the financial information required by Item
7(a) of Form 8-K.
(b) Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information.
The undersigned registrant is unable to file the financial
information required by Item 7(b) of Form 8-K at this time and is
excluding the required information in reliance on Rule 12b-21
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
information required to compile the financial statements rests
peculiarly within the knowledge of an unaffiliated third party
and is not known or reasonably available to the registrant at
this time. Although the registrant has made every reasonable
effort on a timely basis to obtain the necessary information from
such third party, the registrant has no means to control the
unaffiliated third party. While the unaffiliated third party has
provided limited information to the registrant, the unaffiliated
third party has reported that other necessary information is not
readily available to it and that it is working to obtain such
information. As soon as is practicable after receipt of the
necessary information from the unaffiliated third party, the
registrant will file the financial information required by Item
7(b) of Form 8-K.
