Part III -- Narrative
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB,
11-K, 20-F or 10-QSB or portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
Complications created by a combination of the Registrant's limited staff
attempting to respond to a number of comments posed recently by the
Commission's staff regarding various financial and other disclosures contained
in a number of the Registrant's recent periodic reports coupled with a recent
change in auditors and the general unavailability of the Registrant's outside
professional legal and accounting staff during the Christmas holiday period.
This occurred at the same time that the Registrant was attempting to negotiate
new agreements with two significant customers (currently expected to represent
approximately 60% of its revenues during the 1997 fiscal year), was attempting
to arrange outside financing and was in the process of negotiating a revolving
line of credit facility with a lending institution.
