PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K and 10-KSB, 20-F,
11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report on portion thereof, could not be
filed within the prescribed time period.
The Registrant is unable to file, without unreasonable effort and expense, its
Form 10-KSB because its audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1999 have not been completed due to a change in the Registrant's
management which occurred in January, 2000. Current management has been unable
to obtain complete financial information of the Company in order to complete the
financial statements by the required date. The Registrant's auditors are
finalizing their work and it is anticipated that the Form 10-KSB, along with the
audited financial statements will be filed on or before the 15th calendar day
following the prescribed due date of the Registrant's Form 10-KSB.

the corresponding period for the fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings
