PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The Company's 2007 Form 11-K could not be filed by June 29, 2007 without unreasonable effort or expense due to the delays associated with the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2006 and the Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2007. These delays, in turn, were due to the fact that the Company had to allocate significant time and resources to the restatement of prior period financials that were filed with the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
