within the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
In December 1997, the Company engaged new auditors. Audit field work
was performed during February and March 1998. However, in preparing the
financial statements and other required disclosures, certain issues have
arisen which have delayed the issuance of the audit report by the auditors.
As a result, portions of the 10-K have not been finalized to a point of
being ready to file the 10-K within the 90 day due date.
