The registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 (the "Form 10-K") is due to be filed on April 2, 2001. The registrant is unable to complete and file the Form 10-K without unreasonable effort or expense by the due date because (i) the registrant's personnel responsible for the preparation of the Form 10-K are also responsible for the preparation of the bankruptcy court filings and related matters and these efforts have diverted their attention from the preparation of the Form 10-K and (ii) the content of the Form 10-K, including the financial statements, will be substantially affected by the bankruptcy filings. PART IV NARRATIVE It is anticipated that there will be a significant change in the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000, compared to the year ended December 31, 1999 in the following respects: (i) a net loss of approximately $14.7 million is anticipated for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to a net loss of approximately $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1999 and (ii) it is anticipated that the opinion of the registrant's independent accountant will include a going concern qualification.
