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)

o
	(a)	The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
	(b)	The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The company is in the process of reviewing its revenue recognition policy in response to comments received from the SEC Staff. The comments pertain to the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2004 and the company’s Form 10-Qs for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Completion of the company’s review of its revenue recognition policy and resolution of the SEC Staff’s comments may affect the company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 and the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, as well as previously filed periodic reports. The company has already determined to restate its financial statements for auction rate securities and the two-class method of earnings per share. An additional restatement may be required with respect to the company’s revenue recognition policy. The audit committee of the company’s board of directors has not determined whether an additional restatement is required with respect to revenue recognition.

While the primary focus to date of the company review and SEC Staff comment process has been on revenue recognition for multiple element arrangements, including both cash and leasing arrangements under SOP 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition,” EITF 00-21 Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” and FAS 13, “Accounting for Leases”, additional areas of revenue recognition may also be included before the process is completed. The company is also analyzing alternative revenue recognition models to SOP 97-2, such as SAB Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition” and alternatives in the application of SOP 97-2.

For the foregoing reasons, the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 will not be filed by the extended deadline.

	Yes þ     No o
	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.
	Because the company is in the process of reviewing its revenue recognition policy, the company has not quantitatively determined whether any significant change in results of operations from the quarter ended December 31, 2004 will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
