State below in reasonable detail the reasons 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 Registrant has delayed the completion of its financial statements for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2008 while it voluntarily consults with the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “OCA”) regarding the appropriate treatment associated with its settlement agreement with Northrop Grumman. Once the Registrant has considered the views of the OCA, it will complete such financial statements. The Registrant expects that it will file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the timeframe allowed by Rule 12b-25.
Statements in this form regarding the timing of the completion of the Registrant’s filing of the delayed Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements included in this form are based upon information available to the Registrant as of the date of this form, which may change, and the Registrant assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual events could differ materially from the Registrant’s current expectations. Factors that may cause the Registrant’s current expectations to change include but are not limited to: the risk that the consultation with the OCA will result in a material delay in reporting the first quarter financial statements; and the risk that the OCA will not concur with the Company’s views as to the appropriate treatment under the Northrop Grumman arrangements.
