PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-
K, 10-Q and 10-QSB, N -SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could
not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Due to severe health problems of the Corporate Controller beginning at or
about fiscal year end, there was a delay in the start of preparation of the
Form 10-K and the financial information required to be included therein.
Accordingly, Registrant was not able to assemble all of the required
information by the filing date for the Form 10-K. Registrant believes that
it now has all of the required information and anticipates that it will
complete and file the Form 10-K within the extended period.
