NARRATIVE
STATE BELOW IN REASONABLE DETAIL THE REASONS WHY FORM 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR OR THE TRANSITION REPORT PORTION THEREOF COULD NOT BE FILED
WITHIN THE PRESCRIBED TIME PERIOD. (ATTACH EXTRA SHEETS IF NEEDED.)
The Registrant was unable to complete its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 on a timely basis because of
certain difficulties in completing the financial statements and other items
contained in the report. These difficulties arise in part from accounting
issues relating to several acquisitions that the Registrant made during the
second quarter of 1998, as well as the Registrant's difficulty in
confirming certain information to be contained in the report. The
Registrant expects to file the Form 10-Q on August 18, 1998.
