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

 |    (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
|        form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or  
|        expense;

PART III
 NARRATIVE

    State below in reasonable detail why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F 10-Q, N-SAR
or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the          
prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)                        

 The Registrant has experienced significant delays in preparing its Form
10-Q for the period ended September 29, 2002, which could not have been avoided 
without unreasonable effort or expense due to the following factors:            

(i)  After the end of the third quarter, the Company determined that a
     significant charge against earnings was necessary relating to the
          impairment of the Company's investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary
        and the Company encountered significant difficulty and delays in the
calculation of the specific amount of such impairment; and  

  (ii) The Company engaged a new independent accounting firm at the end of
      the third quarter and encountered unusual delays in the process of
        preparing the Form 10-Q resulting from familiarizing such accounting
     firm with the Company's personnel, accounting systems, historical
transactions, and contractual arrangements.                 

 PART IV
 OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this           
notification

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the  
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
    of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the

no, identify report(s).                                               
                                                                 [x] Yes  [_] No

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations 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?

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate
of the results cannot be made.
