During the second quarter of 2000, the Company completed three
acquisitions. The resulting integration of these acquisitions with the Company's
accounting and reporting structure has delayed the compilation of the Company's
third quarter results. The Company therefore requests an extension in the
filing of the Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2000.
