PART III. NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why From 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q,
N-SAR or the transition or report portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
This notification relates to the registrant's first report following its
initial public offering pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form N-2
declared effective on May 22, 1996 (File No. 333-1670) and registration of its
common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. The registrant's report on Form 10-Q is for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, which is a period preceding its initial public offering. The
report is required to contain pro forma combined financial statements reflecting
the results of operation of four businesses acquired by the registrant on May
29, 1996 with the proceeds of its initial public offering. Prior to the
offering and the acquisitions, the registrant had no operations. Accordingly,
because the pro forma combined financial statements relate to a period which
preceded the registrant's acquisition and control of all four of these
businesses, the registrant has experienced delays in obtaining all of the
financial data required for completion of the financial statements for inclusion
in its report on Form 10-Q. The report was due on July 8, 1996, 45 days after
the effective date of the Registration Statement.
PART IV. OTHER INFORMATION

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of
1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
