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.

 

On August 5, 2005, the Company announced that it is restating its financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 30, 2004 and for the first three quarters of fiscal 2005 as a result of accounting errors related to inventory build-up and relief and inadequate reconciliation of intercompany accounts.  The Company’s financial statements will also be adjusted to reflect the disposition of the Company’s Korea subsidiary as discontinued operations.  The Company intends to file an amendment to its Form 10-K for the year ended May 30, 2004 and an amendment to Form 10-Q’s for the quarters ended August 29, 2004, November 28, 2004 and February 27, 2005 to reflect the restatements indicated above.  The Company presently expects to make these filings concurrent with filing its Form 10-K for the year ended May 29, 2005 during the first week of October.  For these reasons, Registrant is unable to complete and file the Form 10-K prior to August 29, 2005 without unreasonable effort or expense.  The Company has filed a Form 8-K dated August 9, 2005 and amendment to Form 8-K dated August 24, 2005 providing additional information concerning the restatement.
