PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed in the
prescribed period.
The Registrant, in preparing the Forms 5500 for its plans as well as
for the newly acquired plan, realized that due to a transaction that took place
on December 14, 2001, the Registrant acquired a plan that required the
Registrant's plan administrator to file a Form 11-K for the 2002 Plan Year. The
Registrant did not realize the Form 11-K filing requirement until recently and
consequently the audited financial statements will not be completed and ready
for timely filing without unreasonable effort and expense.
