State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
The Company was not able to timely file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
required to be filed pursuant to Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder. The Form 10-Q of the Company
covered the three month period ended November 30, 1998. The quarterly report was
not able to be completed due to the unexpected unavailability of a key employee
responsible for the preparation of the quarterly report and the circumstances
relating to such unavailability were beyond the control of the Company. The
Company hereby confirms that the circumstances relating to the delay in the
completion of the quarterly report could not have been eliminated by the Company
without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company undertakes that the
outstanding quarterly report will be filed no later than January 19, 1999, which
is the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date (January 14, 1999)
of the Form 10-Q.
