PART III--NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
The Registrant deferred the internal preparation of the financial statements for
its Profit Sharing Plan in order to obtain complete and accurate data from its
custodian, Diversified Investment Advisors and its trustee, Investors Bank &
Trust Company of Boston. Also, as a result of the World Trade Center situation,
the Registrant's timetable was further delayed to the point where it and the
Plan's external auditors would have had to reallocate significant time and
resources to meet the filing deadline. The Registrant will be filing the Form
11-K for its Profit Sharing Plan on or before the 15th calendar day following
the prescribed due date.
