PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K and 10-KSB, 20-F,
11-K, 10-Q, 10-QSB, 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-QSB because its unaudited financial statements, for the quarter ended
September 30, 2000, have not been completed because the Registrant's management
was involved with the completion of a registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, which required an unexpectedly substantial amount of
time. The Registrant's auditors are finalizing their work and it is anticipated
that the Form 10-QSB, along with the unaudited financial statements, will be
filed on or before the 5th calendar day following the prescribed due date of the
Registrant's Form 10-QSB.
