Part II
(a) The reason descrided in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense.
Part III
The Report of the Independent Auditor has not been received. The Auditor
does report that the Audit is nearing completion. The information to be reported
in the Annual Report will not differ substantially from previous reports in
non-financial respects; such that the Audit and the information to be drawn from
it and discussed in detail in the Management's Discussion and Analysis
constititutes the critical information necessary to prepare the Annual Report.
Accordingly, the Issuer has determined that any attempt to file a tentative
Report on Form 10-KSB, without receipt of the Audit might be substantially
misleading, and contrary to the interests of shareholders and the public.
