                                    PART III

                                    NARRATIVE

         State  below in  reasonable  detail the reasons why the Form 10-K could
not be filed within the prescribed period:

         In August,  1998,  upon  termination of its  Massachusetts  lease,  the
Registrant  relocated  its  corporate  headquarters,   including  its  corporate
accounting and financial reporting functions, from Framingham,  Massachusetts to
Conway,  Arkansas.  To prepare for such  transition,  the  Registrant  (1) hired
replacement personnel in Arkansas to supervise and direct the filing of the Form
10-K with the  assistance  of the  Arkansas  support  staff and (2) entered into
stay-put arrangements with existing Massachusetts personnel.  Unexpectedly,  the
Massachusetts  personnel left two (2) months earlier than originally anticipated
and the Arkansas  replacement left three (3) months after beginning work for the
Registrant. The effects of these losses were compounded when the Chief Financial
Officer  became ill in late  August/early  September  and was no longer  able to
work. It has not yet been  determined if and when the CFO will be able to return
to work. As a result, the Registrant has not completed its financial  statements
for the year ended June 27, 1998.

                                    EXHIBIT A


The Registrant has continued to experience losses in the fourth quarter of 1998.
For the reasons stated in Part III above, the results of the fourth quarter have
not yet been  finalized,  and the  Registrant is unable to  reasonably  estimate
whether there has been a significant change in results of operations compared to
fiscal 1997.
