State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB, 20-F,
11-K, 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be

The registrant is unable to file the annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1999 within the time period prescribed by the Rules
and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission without unreasonable
effort or expense. The Company's sale on July 26, 1999 of a substantial product
line made it difficult to gather all of the information necessary to complete
its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. The
registrant intends on filing the annual report on or before the fifteenth
calendar day following the prescribed due date.
