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)
         
þ    (a)   The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
       
þ    (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, 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 report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

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.
Despite diligent efforts, the work necessary to complete the accounting and reporting of income taxes for certain complex transactions, including the accounting and reporting related to the adoption of Financial Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) on uncertain tax positions, could not be completed without unreasonable expense and effort in sufficient time to permit filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 1, 2007 on the scheduled due date of May 11, 2007. Specifically, the accounting and reporting of income taxes related to the impact of adoption of FIN 48 and other post-closing procedures have required additional time and effort.
The Company expects that it will be able to complete the remaining work described above in time for the Company to file its Form 10-Q for the three months ended April 1, 2007 within the five-day extension provided by Rule 12b-25.
