NARRATIVE State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-KSB, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. The registrant's Form 10-KSB includes consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 29, 1996. The registrant's consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 29, 1996 are being audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, the registrant's current independent accountants (the "Current Accountants"). The registrant's consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 were audited by the registrant's former independent auditors (the "Former Accountants"). The registrant anticipated timely receiving the consent of the Former Accountants to the inclusion of its report on the registrant's consolidated statements of operation, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 in the Form 10-KSB. The registrant now believes that it could not obtain the consent of the Former Accountants to the inclusion of its report on the registrant's consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 in the Form 10-KSB for purposes of filing the Form 10-KSB within the prescribed time period without unreasonable expense. Accordingly, the registrant has engaged the Current Accountants to audit the registrant's consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 for inclusion in the Form 10-KSB. In that regard, the registrant believes that it could not obtain the report of the Current Accountants on the registrant's consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 for inclusion in the Form 10-KSB within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense. A statement of the Current Accountants is attached hereto as Exhibit A. PART IV.
