PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The registrant is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense due to its need for additional time to review and finalize the income tax information received from its Mexican subsidiary in order to properly prepare a complete and accurate report. In addition, the Company has not completed its testing and assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting due in part to identified control deficiencies related to completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the determination of its income tax provision. These deficiencies, or combination of deficiencies, may result in a material weakness. There is a possibility that upon completion of its testing and assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, the Company may determine that there are additional material weaknesses.

These matters required the registrant to perform additional procedures and analyses that affected the timeliness of the its annual financial statement close process and preparation of the Form 10-K. Management is in the process of completing its Form 10-K. These additional procedures and analysis are not expected to result in any material change to previously reported financial statements.

 

SEC 1344 (05-06)		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.
