The Registrant hereby represents that:
(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form
could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be filed

[State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed period.]
Explanation:
The 10K was prepared by the Company's printer in a Quark file. The Company did
not realize R.R. Donnelley (Cadmus) required a Word file. As a result, we had to
re-input the entire 10K into a Word file. Note, The Company's former Corporate
Secretary resigned in December 1999, and the persons involved in preparing the
1999 10K were unaware of the Word file requirement.
