The closing is now planned for April 1, 1999. Assuming the financing is completed, it may have a material effect on the Registrant's liquidity and capital resources and will be described in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and as a "subsequent event" in the Notes to the Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. Because of the extraordinary burden placed on the management and accounting resources of the Company caused by the concurrent negotiation and documentation of the financing and the preparation of the Form 10-K, the Company has been unable to prepare and file the Form 10-K by the due date.
