State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,

In connection with the audit of the financial statements of the Trans Financial,

requested that we obtain a detailed statement and certification of various plan
assets from the third party administrator in order for them to complete their
audit and report on the financial statements. The third party administrator has
not yet provided this information to us or our auditors. Therefore, our
auditors are not yet able to complete their audit or report on the financial

period ended December 31,1995, is not yet available.
