PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Annual Report on
Form 10-K could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach
Extra Sheets If Needed)
The Registrant is filing Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 in order to file the financial
statements of certain of its 50% or less owned equity investees, as required by
Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. These financial statements were required to be
filed within 90 days of the fiscal year end, which was December 31, 2003. The
reason that this Form 10-K/A was not filed within this 90 day time period is
that, at the end of such period, certain audit items were not resolved with
respect to certain of the financial statements of the 50% or less owned equity
investees. These issues will be resolved in a timely manner, and the Form 10-K/A
will subsequently be filed on March 31, 2004.
