WEST POINT, Ga. — WestPoint Stevens will not file its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2004, by the March 16 due date, as a result of its recently announced agreement to sell substantially all of its assets to an investor group, the company stated.

The company stated that it anticipates lenders will grant a waiver concerning its financial reporting requirements.
