PART II - RULES 12b-25(b) and (c)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or
expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the
following should be completed.
(Check box if appropriate)
[X] (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this Form
12b-25 could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
expense;
[X] (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be
filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the
prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition

the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
[ ] (c) The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule
12b-25(c) has been attached, if applicable.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART III - NARRATIVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report or portion
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.
As part of the Company's plan to restructure its continuing operations
and address its current liquidity problems, the Company's management has been
negotiating several transactions, including sales of assets and businesses and
an extension of its overadvance availability under its financing arrangement
with Bank of America. The outcomes of these negotiations, which are expected
to be known within days following the April 1, 2002 due date of the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, will likely
significantly impact the disclosures in such report. Additionally, these
negotiations have resulted in a reallocation of resources that has caused the
Company to experience delays in assembling data and finalizing accounting
matters for its annual report on Form 10-K. As a result, the Company is
unable to complete and file its annual report on Form 10-K by the prescribed
date without unreasonable effort or expense. Pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company respectfully requests a fifteen-
day extension to file its annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December
31, 2001.
