State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed with the
prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
The Company hired a new Chief Financial Officer in February, 1997 to
replace the former Chief Financial Officer who resigned effective December 31,
1996. The audit had been originally scheduled for late January 1997.
Because of the change in the Chief Financial Officer, the audit needed to be
re-scheduled at a later date. It was not possible for the Company's auditors
to be re-scheduled and perform the audit until late March 1997. The audit will
be completed within the next 15 days and the Form 10-K will be filed by April
15, 1997.
