PART III. NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
In February 1997 the Company's sole accounting employee left the
Company prior to the completion of the Company's audit of its 1996
results. Following the employee's departure, the Company hired a new
controller who is currently working to complete the quarterly audit and
the management's discussion portion of the Form 10-QSB. However, due to
the extra time required for the new controller to complete the Company's
1996 audit and to make current the financial records of the Company, and
the difficulties presented by the lack of staff, the Company is unable to
file its Form 10-QSB, for the Period ended March 31, 1997, without
unreasonable effort or expense.
