and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
The subject annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29,
2003 could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense because
additional time is required to obtain a third party analysis of the goodwill
impairment charge the Registrant recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003
in order to complete the Registrant's financial statements for such fiscal year.
The results of the impairment analysis may materially affect the disclosures in
the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K and the fiscal 2003 financial
statements included therein. The Registrant intends to file its annual report on
Form 10-K on or before the 15th calendar day following the prescribed date.

ATTACHMENT
Change in Results of Operations
As previously disclosed in its September 5, 2003 press release, the
Registrant will adjust its fiscal year and fourth quarter 2002 statements of
operations and balance sheet to reflect a curtailment in its Assembly & Test -
United Kingdom defined benefit pension plan, which was disclosed in Note 7 to
the Registrant's fiscal 2002 financial statements. The curtailment was caused by
18 employees, or less than 10% of the plan participants, leaving the plan during
fiscal 2002 as part of the restructuring of the Registrant's Assembly & Test -
United Kingdom operations. The pre-tax adjustment of $2.2 million will be
reflected in the restructuring charge line item on the Registrant's consolidated
statement of operations. The Registrant will also adjust the June 30, 2002
balance sheet to reflect the minimum pension liability and certain other items.
