If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

		(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense
x		(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
		(c) The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III – NARRATIVE

The Registrant’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 26, 2005 could not be filed within the prescribed time period because certain information relating to and necessary for the completion of the Registrant’s financial statements could not be obtained by the Registrant within such time period without unreasonable effort or expense. For fiscal years ended June 27, 2004 and June 29, 2003, the respective audit opinions of the Registrant’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), referenced audit reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of Parkdale America, LLC (“PAL”). PAL is a corporation in which the Registrant has a 34% interest and its investment in PAL is in excess of 15% of the Registrant’s total assets. In previous years, the Registrant was required to include PAL’s financial statements with its Form 10-K and in connection therewith, PwC granted the Registrant a consent which was included as an exhibit in the Form 10-K for both fiscal years 2004 and 2003. PwC is no longer the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for PAL. On or about September 9, 2005, the Registrant’s filing date, PwC informed the Registrant that based upon PwC’s policy it would be unable to grant the Registrant a consent for E&Y to reference any PAL audit reports. Thus, E&Y will need to conduct additional audit field work on PAL in order to issue its opinion without reference to PwC.
