Part III - Narrative
__________________________________________________________________

Our December 95 10Q will not be filed within the 45 days after
quarter-end due to 50% of our accounting staff voluntarily
terminating their employment the last week of December and the first
week of January.  This loss has greatly impacted the department and
its ability to meet some deadlines.  The company is making its best
effort with available resources to fulfill its commitment of filing
the 10-Q.
