(Attach extra Sheets if Needed)
The registrants are not in a position where they will be able to file their Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the thirteen-week period ended March 29, 2008 (the “Report”), in a timely manner. The principal reason for the registrants’ delay in filing the Report relates to the filing by the registrants and their direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) of voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware on May 2, 2008 (jointly administered under Case No. 08–10832). The Company requires additional time to complete the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for such period and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. The delay is necessary in part because, in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy filing, the Company is performing an impairment analysis related to certain of its tangible and intangible assets, which is not yet complete. The Company intends to file the Report as soon as reasonably practicable, but will not be in a position to file the Report by the fifth calendar day following the required filing date, as prescribed in Rule 12b-25.

|
As disclosed in Part III above, the delay in filing the Report is necessary in part because, in connection with the Company’s bankruptcy filing, the Company is performing an impairment analysis related to certain of its tangible and intangible assets, which is not yet complete. Subject to such impairment analysis, the registrants do not anticipate that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected in the Report. However, at this time the registrants cannot predict the outcome of the impairment analysis, which could result in the Report reflecting a significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year. |
