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)

 

 

(a)

The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense

ý

(b)

(c)

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 is in the process of refinancing its existing U.S. bank debt, which has a termination date of September 30, 2005. Completion of the refinancing is expected to occur within 15 days subsequent to the required filing date of September 15, 2005 and will have a major impact on the Company's disclosures within the liquidity section of MD&A as well as various other financial statement notes within the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2005.  Due to the pending refinancing and its impact on the financial statements and related disclosures, the Company would not be able to complete its 10-K report without unreasonable effort and expense.  In addition, the Company believes that reflecting the completion of the related refinancing transaction in the Form 10-K will more accurately reflect the current state of its liquidity and financial position for the users of its financial statements.

ý Yes    o No

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(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    o 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.

 

 

 

 

 

With respect to Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) and Item 9A (Controls and Procedures) under Part II of the Form 10-K, the Company has restated amounts for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2004 in its consolidated statement of operations and consolidated balance sheets.

 

As stated in the Company’s Form 8-K filing dated August 26, 2005, announcing its fiscal 2005 year-end results, the Company has historically provided valuation reserves against its U.S. deferred tax assets that results in a zero net deferred tax position (net deferred assets equal to deferred tax liabilities). In a fiscal year-end review of its tax accounts, the Company determined that a portion of its deferred tax liability relates to tax deductible amortization of goodwill that is no longer amortized for financial reporting purposes.  Under accounting rules, such deferred tax liabilities are considered to have an indefinite life and are therefore ineligible to be considered as a source of future taxable income in assessing the realization of deferred tax assets.

 

Accordingly, the Company increased its valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, resulting in an increase to the provision for income taxes of $1.6 million in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended July 3, 2005.  The Company also determined that such deferred tax liabilities existed at June 27, 2004 and therefore has restated its valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and increased its provision for income taxes by $1.6 million in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 27, 2004 for a total provision for income taxes and corresponding increase to its valuation allowance of $6.7 million in those periods.

 

The Company views the error in accounting for income taxes and related restatement of its prior year financial statements as a material weakness which has resulted in its management concluding that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 3, 2005.  An adverse opinion on internal control over financial reporting will be included in the Company's disclosures within Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
