PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The registrant is currently finalizing its financial statements for inclusion in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 and the assessment of its internal controls over financial reporting as of September 30, 2005 contemplated by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, but has experienced delays in completing these tasks. These delays have resulted primarily from the complexity and extent of work required to perform the Section 404 assessment, particularly in view of the related standards for audits of internal controls over financial reporting mandated by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The registrant believes that it will be in a position to be able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K on or before the extended deadline of December 29, 2005.
PART IV
OTHER INFORMATION
(1)   Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification:
 
    Joseph McGuire           (781) 830-3000
 
(2)   Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s).
 
                    þ 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?
 
                    þ 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.
 
    The registrant previously announced its unaudited fiscal year-end 2005 financial results by press release dated December 6, 2005, a copy of which press release was furnished as an exhibit to a current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2005. Such unaudited results reflected various changes in the registrant’s results of operations from the previous year, the more significant of which were summarized in the text portion of the press release. The registrant does not expect that the audited financial statements that will be included in its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 will reflect any material differences from the result of operations reflected in such unaudited results.
