                                 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)

      The former trustee under the Retirement Savings Plan for Employees of
Tokheim Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Plan"), Fort Wayne National
Bank, was acquired by National City Bank during fiscal year 1998.
Subsequently the Plan appointed a new trustee, Bank of New York (the "New
Trustee"). During the process of transferring files from National City Bank
to the New Trustee, National City Bank discovered that it could not locate
certain shares of common stock (approximately 46,798 shares) previously
held by Fort Wayne National Bank as trustee for the plan. National City
Bank was unable to locate these shares until May 26, 2000. In addition,
there remain open issues with respect to the reconciliation of various
records between the former trustee and the New Trustee. As a result, the
Plan has been unable to complete preparation of its financial statements.
The Plan expects that the New Trustee will be able to resolve the remaining
reconciliation issues shortly, and the Plan will complete preparation of
its financial statements and file its annual report on Form 11-K as soon as
practicable thereafter.
