The Registrant is in negotiations with financing sources concerning refinancing its current revolving credit facility and concerning additional capital. The revolving credit facility was recently amended after negotiations between the Registrant and its senior lenders. The amended facility expires March 31, 2001. The Registrant's management has been devoting, and continues to devote, substantial time and attention to the negotiations with potential financing sources concerning the refinancing of its current revolving credit facility and additional capital, and to other corporate matters. As a result, the Registrant's management has been delayed in completing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2000. In particular, and not by way of limitation, this delay has prevented the Registrant's management from completing important financial components to be reported in the Form 10-Q, the incomplete reporting of which would materially reduce the benefit which stockholders might derive from the Form 10-Q. _______________________________________________________________________________ PART IV--OTHER INFORMATION _______________________________________________________________________________ (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification Michael J.
