--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or

should be completed. (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;
(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be

Part III-Narrative
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.
The annual report on Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed
time period because the Company is in the process of finalizing its annual
financial statements as well as the supporting documentation related thereto. On
January 15, 2004, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under
chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The
Company has not been able to complete its year end financial results due to the
dedication of most of the Company's internal financial management resources to
the preparation for and conduct of the Company's bankruptcy proceeding as debtor
in possession. In addition, the Company is in the process of working with its
auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, to seek approval from the Bankruptcy Court for the
retention of Ernst & Young LLP in order to complete the work required to
finalize the audit of the Company's financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2003. Accordingly, the Company needs additional time to complete
the disclosure in the annual report on Form 10-K as required under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
