(Check box if appropriate) [X] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense; [X] (b) The subject annual report or semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and [ ] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. PART III NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. On May 9, 2003, the Company filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company's Form 10-K was reviewed by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company's Form 10-K/A was released for filing by the SEC on or about October 17, 2003. In addition, on November 6, 2003, the Company announced the implementation of a restructuring of its operations, including the closure of a number of sites and substantial employee layoffs. The delay in the filing of the Form 10-K/A combined with the review of the impact of the restructuring on the Company's financial statements delayed the availability of financial information required to complete and file the Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003. Management anticipates the preparation and filing of Company's Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2003 on or before the 5th calendar day following its prescribed due date.
