report (s)
[ x ] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in the 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?
[ x ] Yes [ ] 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.
The Company's filings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
have resulted in approximately $16 million of additional debt restructuring
and reorganization costs in the six months ended March 31, 2001 as compared
to the same period in the prior year. In addition, the Company has reduced
interest expense approximately $44 million, principally due to the fact
that certain unsecured and under secured loans are not accruing interest as
a result of the Company's Chapter 11 filings. This reduction is offset by
growth in interest expense of approximately $7 million due to additional
borrowings and higher rates of interest on certain loans for which the
Company is accruing interest.
