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’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 cannot be filed within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. On February 12, 2008, the registrant filed a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing that it had entered into a definitive agreement relating to a comprehensive recapitalization of the Company. The principal reasons for the delay in filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K relate to the significant commitment of the Registrant’s accounting and finance personnel’s time and resources to the comprehensive recapitalization and related matters. It is anticipated that the Annual Report on Form 10-K will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day following the date on which the Annual Report on Form 10-K was due.

As noted in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Registrant on January 15, 2008, the Registrant will be recording significant other-than-temporary impairment charges from its investment portfolio against earnings in the fourth quarter of 2007. While the Registrant’s year-end closing process and the related audit by the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm are not yet completed, the Registrant estimates that it will record approximately $1.2 billion of other-than-temporary impairments in the fourth quarter of 2007.
