If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense
and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following
should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

| form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q,
N-SAR or the transition report, or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The Company's management team has been engaged in ongoing negotiations regarding
the Company's existing credit facilities. The negotiations have demanded
substantial management time and attention and directly impact the disclosure in
the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, in particular,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations." Because the attention of the Company's senior management has been
focused on the negotiations with the Company's lenders, the Company is unable,
without unreasonable effort and expense, to complete and file the Form 10-Q by
May 18 1999, the prescribed deadline for filing.
