PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed.  (Check box if appropriate)

     (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of 
          this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort
          or expense;
/X/  (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition
          report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K or Form N-SAR, or
          portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth
          calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the 
          subject quarterly report of transition report on Form 10-Q,
          or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth
          calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
     (c)  The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by
          Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

                                       


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.

Due, in part, to the Company's relocation of its executive offices from
Torrance, California to Monroeville, Pennsylvania, the Registrant has
not yet completed for filing its Form 5500.  The Registrant's Form 5500
is not required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
until approximately 30 days after the prescribed due date of the
Registrant's Form 11-K, which was originally due June 30, 1997.  
Because the information required from the Registrant for the filing
of both its Form 5500 and Form 11-K is substantially the same, the
filing of the Form 11-K on or before June 30, 1997 would require
unreasonable effort and expense to the Registrant and the Registrant
seeks relief from timely filing its Form 11-K pursuant to Rule
12b-25(b).

In accordance with Rule 12(b)-25(b)(2) of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and pursuant to Part II(b) of this Form
12b-25, the Registrant undertakes to file its Form 11-K within
15 calendar days following the Form 11-K's prescribed due date
of June 30, 1997.

Supplementally, please be advised that June 24, 1997 is the
effective date of the Registrant's relocation from Torrance,
California to Monroeville, Pennsylvania.

                                        (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
