State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.
The Company recently participated in a private financing that was
consummated on December 13, 2000. This event, in addition to some other
very recent and significant business transactions, required careful and
complete disclosures. Compiling these disclosures resulted in
unanticipated delays in performing the quarter-end closing, and we were
unable to file our Form 10-QSB, for the quarter ended October 31, 2000,
in a timely manner.
