PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail 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.

Due to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions, management has been focusing on a comprehensive strategic and financial planning process for the Company and has been engaged in detailed discussions with its senior secured creditors, unsecured note holders and other stakeholders with respect to that process. The Company believes that the report of its independent registered public accounting firm on the Company’s fiscal 2008 consolidated financial statements is likely to include an explanatory paragraph indicating substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s senior secured creditors have waived any default under the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that may result from the receipt of such a going concern qualification or from a delay in filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The substantial time and resources dedicated to addressing the aforementioned issues impacts the Company’s ability to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 without unreasonable effort or expense.

SEC 1344 (05-06)		Persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB control number.

(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?
		Yes  þ      No  o

		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 Company anticipates that its results of operations for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 will include significant changes from the results of operations reported for the prior fiscal year ended January 31, 2008. Any expected results noted for fiscal 2008 are not final and are subject to revision prior to the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009.

Total sales for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009 are expected to be $1,904 million, a decrease of 10.5% from the prior year. The reduction in sales was primarily due to lower production volumes in the latter part of the fiscal year at North American and European vehicle manufacturers, which have been negatively impacted due to the effects of the global recession and troubled capital and credit markets. Gross profits are expected to decline from the prior year commensurate with the sales reduction.

In connection with the preparation of fiscal 2008 consolidated financial statements, the Company anticipates taking a $257.3 million non-cash impairment charge to its goodwill and other intangible assets. As a result of this impairment, earnings from operations and net income are expected to be substantially below the prior year loss from operations of $38.7 million and net loss of $194.4 million.
