¨

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 Company was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2006, by February 14, 2007, the prescribed due date, and does not expect that such filing will be made by the February 20, 2007 extended deadline. The Company requires additional time to prepare its consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2006 and the quarters ended June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006; and, in addition, restate years ended March 31, 2004, and 2005, and restate the quarters ended June 30, 2005, September 30, 2005, and December 31, 2005. The Company plans to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 as soon as practicable once the final amounts of additional stock-based compensation expense to be recorded in prior periods, as described below, are determined.
 
As previously reported on Forms 12b-25 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on June 30, 2006, August 15, 2006 and November 15, 2006, and as further reported on various Forms 8-K filed with the SEC since July 2006, the Audit Committee commenced a review and assessment of stock option grants by the Company and engaged independent legal counsel and outside accounting advisors to assist in this effort.
 
Based on its review and assessment, the Audit Committee preliminarily has concluded that the actual measurement dates for certain stock options granted by the Company differ from the recorded measurement dates. Accordingly, the Company will restate its previously issued financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2004 and 2005, as well as previously reported interim financial information, to reflect additional non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense in certain reported periods. In addition, the Company's financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, to be included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, will include non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense.
 
The Company has been diligently working to resolve the issues related to accounting for stock options granted since its initial public offering in 1996, which is the sole reason underlying its delay in filing its annual and quarterly reports. In this regard, the Company has been reviewing accounting guidance regarding stock option grants recently published by the accounting staff of the SEC and has not yet determined the amount of such charges or the resulting tax and accounting impact. The Company’s determination of the amount of such stock-based compensation expense is being finalized and is being reviewed by its independent auditors.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ý Yes ¨ No
 
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
There may be significant changes in the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The Company cannot provide a reasonable estimate and comparison of operating results for the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and 2006 at this time because it will need to restate certain of its previously filed financial statements.
