State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

During the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company discovered errors in certain accounts related to the timing of rental revenues for the years ended December 31, 1998 1999 and 2001. As a result, the Company is currently in the process of determining the potential restatement impact to its financial statements for the applicable prior periods along with the impact on the 2002 consolidated financial statements.

The Company believes it will be able to file its 2002 Form 10-K report on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.
