NOTIFICATION OF LATE FILING
QUARTER ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1995
AMENDMENT
On December 1, 1995 the Company filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.
In preparing the documents needed by the Court to clear the bankruptcy the
entire accounting department was involved in preparation of these documents.
This caused a delay in the timely filing of our current Form 10Q for the quarter
ended October 31, 1995.
