NARRATIVE
Nucleus, Inc. (the "Registrant") is unable to file its Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999 within 90 days of the end of
such period. The Registrant has recently closed a temporary debt financing
arrangement which required substantial time and effort of its management and
financial personnel who are responsible for preparation of the Registrant's
financial statements and periodic reports required to be filed by the
Registrant with the Commission. As a result, additional time has been needed
for completing the Registrant's financial statements for inclusion in the
Registrant's Form 10-KSB for fiscal year 1999.
