the prescribed time period.
In May 1998, American Resources and Development Company (the Company)
acquired Pacific Print Works, effective March 31, 1998. Pacific Print Works had
never previously been audited. Because of the additional time required by the
Company's accounting department to make these records auditable, the Form 10-KSB
will be filed after June 30 but before July 16, 1998. The Company was not able
to timely file the Form 10-KSB by June 30, 1998 without unreasonable effort or
expense
