(Attach extra sheets if needed.) The Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended October 31, 2001 (the "Form 10-K") within the required period without unreasonable effort and expense because the day prior to the date upon which the Form 10-K was due, the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and President of the Company, John F. Falcon, resigned and a new CEO and President, Theodore K. Zampetis, was appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. In accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards No. 85 "Management's Representations," management is required to sign a Management's Representations Letter and provide such letter to the Company's auditors. Due to the recent replacement of the CEO, the new CEO, Mr. Zampetis, required additional time to appropriately review the representations letter. The Company's Form 10-K will be filed by the 15th calendar day following its prescribed due date.
