PART III NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-Q could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Prior to the date hereof the Company has been unable to complete and file Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 20, as well as its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 (the 2006 Reports). Filing of the 2006 Reports was delayed due to issues and uncertainties arising from a civil investigation of the Companys JDL Technologies subsidiary being conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and accounting and internal control issues related to and within JDL Technologies. The Company today filed the 2006 Reports. Further information regarding the JDL related issues that delayed the filing of the 2006 Reports is presented under Item 1(c)1(iii) and under Item 9A of the Companys Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Prior to the date hereof the Company has been unable to address the preparation and filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2007 without unreasonable effort and expense until it resolved JDL related accounting and internal control issues that delayed the filing of the 2006 Reports. Because it has only recently resolved such accounting and internal control issues, the filing of its Form 10-Q Report the period ended March 31, 2007 will be delayed approximately three weeks.

(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? |

o Yes |
x No |
