The Company is currently preparing documents to ask the shareholders to vote
for dissolution. The Company's financial and legal departments that are
normally devoted to the year-end financial closing processes have been diverted
in order to enable the Company to complete these documents. Completion of the
documents for dissolution will have a material impact on the disclosure included
in the Form 10KSB. As a result the Company's Form 10KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1998 cannot be prepared and filed within the prescribed time period
without unreasonable effort or expense.
