The Registrant is currently devoting its attention and energy to responding
to comments it received from the Commission on March 14, 2000 in connection
with the Registrant's 10-SB filing. Several of the outstanding accounting
issues with regard to the 10-SB filing directly impact the Registrant's
required financial disclosure on Form 10-KSB. Accordingly, the Registrant is
unable to file its Form 10-KSB for the period ended December 31, 1999 within
the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense.
