Capital Partners II, L.P., which was entered into on March 31, 2009.  These changes were previously reflected in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 7, 2009.

The following sections of the 2008 Form 10-K are being filed (such sections are filed as Exhibits hereto and hereby incorporated by reference herein):

The Company has included the entire text of the affected sections.  No sections of the 2008 Form 10-K other than those identified above are being revised by this filing.  Information in the 2008 Form 10-K is generally stated as of December 31, 2008 and this filing does not reflect any subsequent information or events other than the adoption of SFAS No. 160 and the recast of the Integrated Nylon business’ presentation as discontinued operations in accordance with the terms of the definitive sale agreement between the Company and S.K. Capital.  Without limitation of the foregoing, this filing does not purport to update the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the 2008 Form 10-K for any information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends occurring, or known to management.  More current information is included in the Company’s other filings with the Commission.  This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Form 10-K, the March 2009 Form 10-Q and the Company’s other filings.  Other filings contain important information regarding events, developments and updates to certain expectations of the Company that have occurred since the filing of the 2008 Form 10-K and the March 2009 Form 10-Q.
