Part III. Narrative
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-KSB, 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.)
Paradigm Advanced Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), is unable to
file its Form 10-KSB, for the period ended December 31, 1996, without
unreasonable effort or expense because of recent personnel changes in its
accounting department. 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 Mr. Prima
Fernando as controller and Mr. Fernando is currently working to complete the
1996 audit. However, due to the extra time required for Mr. Fernando to
sufficiently acquaint himself with the financial records of the Company, and
the difficulties presented by the lack of staff familiar with records of the
Company, the Company hereby seeks an extension of the filing deadline for the
subject 10-KSB.
