On May 1, 1998 the Registrant had technical difficulties in the electronic
transmission of its Form 10-KSB for the year ended January 31, 1998. The form
10-KSB has been filed by electronic transmission and accepted at 8:04 PM on May
1, 1998 after the 5:30 PM deadline. We do not know whether this filing will
ultimately be deemed timely or not. To the extend that the filing is determined
to have been made on Monday May 4, then the failure to file by Monday May 1,
1998 was due to technical difficulties in the electronic transmission process.
