Liquidating Trust (the "Trust") will not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2003 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis. The inability to file on a timely basis results from (1) the transition of the Trust in engaging new auditors; and (2) the efforts to try to hold down costs to the Trust during this winding-down period of the Trust. As previously reported on Form 8-K, the previous auditor for the Trust determined not to register with the Public Accounting Oversight Board, and it required additional time for the Trustee to identify and retain another auditor to audit the Trust's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003. The reasons causing the inability to file as described herein could not be eliminated by the Trust without unreasonable effort or expense.
