Dear James,
We are currently working on the audit of Lazarus Industries, Inc. as of
December 31, 1999 and are in the final stages of completing the audit.
However, we are still trying to get supporting documentation on a few accounts
and are currently unable to finalize the audit. We hope to have the final
documentation in the next week so that we can issue the audited financial
statements at that time.
Because Lazarus Industries, Inc. is required to file a form 10-KSB with the
SEC by the end of March 2000, we are requesting that you file the necessary
forms to extend the filing due date for an additional 14 days. That will give
us enough time to finalize the audit. Please call us if there are any
problems in getting the extension. We appreciate your attention to this
matter.
Sincerely,
/s/ Jones, Jensen & Company
