Item 21(a) above specifies the statements which are to be included in the prospectus. Attention is directed to Rule 411(b) regarding incorporation by reference of financial statements. A. THE REGISTRANT

(a) The registrant shall file a balance sheet as of a date within 90 days prior to the date of filing the registration statement. This balance sheet need not be certified.

(3) No long-term debt of the registrant is in default as to principal, interest or sinking fund provisions.

(b) If the balance sheet required by paragraph (a) is not certified, there shall be filed in addition a certified balance sheet as of a date within one year unless the fiscal year of the registrant has ended within 90 days prior to the date of filing, in which case the certified balance sheet may be as of the end of the preceding fiscal year.

2. Profit and Loss and Source and Application of Funds Statements of the Registrant.

The registrant shall file profit and loss and source and application of funds statements for each of the three fiscal years preceding the date of the latest balance sheet filed and for the period, if any, between the close of the latest of such fiscal years and the date of the latest balance sheet filed. These statements shall be certified up to the date of the latest certified balance sheet filed.

Notwithstanding Instructions 1 and 2, the individual financial statements of the registrant may be omitted if (1) consolidated statements of the registrant and one or more of its subsidiaries are filed, (2) the conditions specified in either of the following paragraphs are met, and (3) the Commission is advised as to the reasons for such omission.
