(Attach extra sheets if needed.)
On June 7, 1996, the Registrant acquired Southern Capital
Corp. in an acquisition that significantly increased the total assets
of the company. In addition, on August 12, 1996, the Registrant changed
its principal independent accountants. As a result, the Registrant is
experiencing difficulty in gathering the requisite data to complete the
filing of its Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. It
is anticipated such information will be produced and that the filing
will be made on October 1, 1996, within the prescribed 15 day time
period. Such information cannot be produced any sooner without
unreasonable effort and expense, including hiring (if available)
additional professional staff on a short-term basis.
