PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 10-KSB, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be
filed within the prescribed time period.
While Exide has been working diligently to complete its Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended June 30, 2002 and a substantial part thereof has been completed to
date, Exide is unable to complete and timely file the Form 10-Q without
unreasonable effort or expense. This delay is due to (among other things) the
recent departure of several key financial and accounting employees, which has
disrupted the preparation of financial information necessary to completely and
accurately prepare the Form 10-Q, preparation of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 and preparation of additional
financial reports occasioned by the Company's April 15, 2002 filing for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code. The Form 10-Q will be
filed no later than August 19, 2002, which is the fifth calendar day following
the prescribed due date.
