If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or

following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

                                 NARRATIVE

within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

   Sunbeam Corporation filed a petition for relief under section 1121(a) of
Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on February 6, 2001. In light
of the significant resources and time dedicated to such Chapter 11 filing,
Sunbeam Corporation is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 by April 2, 2001.


                                  PART IV

     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment

     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?
                                                          |_|Yes   |X| No

     If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
     narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
