State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB, 20-F,

within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
Registrant cannot file its Form 10-KSB report for the fiscal year ended Dec 31,
1997 on a timely basis because Registrant's auditors will be unable to complete
their audit of Registrant's financial statements. The auditors' delay was caused
principally by attrition in the management of Registrant and the related
delay in closing the financial records for the year.
