SEC 1344 (03-05)

 

Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

 




On November 3, 2006, the Registrant issued a press release announcing that its management and the Audit Committee of its Board of Directors had determined, based on information presented by the Registrant’s management in connection with the preparation of the Registrant’s financial statements for the third quarter of 2006, that the Registrant’s financial statements included in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 contained errors.  As a result, the Registrant’s Audit Committee has concluded that those financial statements should be restated, and that investors should not rely upon those financial statements without taking into account the anticipated adjustments described in the press release filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 3, 2006.    The Company also announced in that release that it would postpone its regular third-quarter 2006 earnings release and the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006 pending the completion of its review and restatement of its financial statements for the periods affected. 

The results of the Registrant’s ongoing internal reviews and the substance of the proposed restatements, as well as the results of related investigations and confirmatory processes, could materially impact the information that will be included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2006.  Therefore, at this time the Registrant is unable to timely file such report without unreasonable effort or expense.

Additional information regarding these matters is set forth in the press release issued by the Registrant on November 3, 2006, which was previously filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 3, 2006 and is incorporated into this Part III by this reference.

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.

 

 

 

The press release described above contains narrative and, to the extent possible, quantitative disclosure regarding the anticipated change in results of operations of the Registrant, to the extent those matters have been determined with a reasonable level of accuracy.  As noted above, the Registrant is continuing its internal review and analysis of such matters and is unable pending the completion of those efforts to provide a reasonable estimate of any anticipated changes at this time beyond what is reflected in such press release.
