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 where appropriate.)

PART III

NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

Because the registrant received notice yesterday from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Commission’s intention to review the registrant’s Schedule 14A Preliminary Proxy Statement, and since the registrant, pursuant to Rule 12b-23, incorporated by reference the PART III disclosure for its Form 10-KT for the period ended March 31, 2003 from its Preliminary Proxy Statement, pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of the General Instructions to Form 10-K, the registrant must amend its Form 10-KT to now include such PART III disclosure, specifically Items 10, 11, 12 and 13. The registrant is therefore awaiting comments, if any, from the Commission before finalizing PART III, and will thereafter file, within the timeframe set forth in Part II(b) of this Form 12b-25, the amendment to its Form 10-KT to include PART III.

PART IV

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

¨    Yes x    No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
