PART III - NARRATIVE
During the period whereby the Company's 10-Q would normally be completed, the
Company experienced a computer failure. The failure involved the loss of our
major network file server and the corruption of financial data. The filing delay
resulted from the time required to re-establish an operational computer
environment, restore files, process all suspended operational transactions,
access financial data, proof the data integrity and resume normal day-to-day
activities. We intend to complete the filing on the first calendar day following
the prescribed due date.
