PART III NARRATIVE
The Registrant is unable to timely file its Form 10-KSB for the period
ended December 31, 1995, because the auditors have not completed the
audited financial statements of the Registrant and are unable to
complete such financial statements without unreasonable effort and
expense. The Registrant was unable to obtain certain information
related to contingencies and new disclosure requirements in a timely manner
and additional time is required to determine their impact on the
Registrant's financial statements and required disclosures.
The Company will reflect net income for 1995 of approximately $268,000
compared to net income of $102,968 for 1994. In general, the increase
in net income in 1995 is due to increased loan origination and service
fee income from the Company's residential mortgage loan operations.
