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 its internal compilation and review procedures, which are conducted with respect to all three of its subsidiaries (all of which are companies whose securities are publicly traded and which therefore prepare and file publicly their own annual consolidated financial statements), and due to its required adjustment to the abridged time frame in which its annual report on Form 20-F is due following the fiscal year for the first time currently (i.e., by April 30, rather than June 30 as in prior years), the registrant is currently still finalizing its financial statements and related disclosures for inclusion in its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, such annual report by the prescribed due date of April 30, 2012. The registrant plans to file such annual report within the prescribed extension period allotted under Rule 12b-25(b).
