In connection with the preparation of the Registrant's Parent's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001, the Registrant's Parent is reviewing certain accounting matters relating to co-borrowing credit facilities which the Registrant's Parent is party to. While the Registrant is not party to these co-borrowing agreements, due to the resources required for such review by the Registrant's Parent, the Registrant could not complete its financial statements, receive its independent auditors' report thereon, and file the Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.
