PART III--NARRATIVE
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K could not be filed on or
before the prescribed due date, May 29, 1998, without unreasonable effort and
expense, as a result of delays experienced in preparing its financial statements
for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998 ("Fiscal 1998"). These delays are
related primarily to the need to obtain information relating to its foreign
operations which is necessary to complete the audit of its financial statements.
Because of the Registrant's delay in compiling this financial data, the
Registrant's year end consolidated financial statements are not yet finalized,
making it impossible for the Registrant's auditors to complete their audit on or
before May 29, 1998.

<PAGE>
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected
by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
thereof? [X] Yes [_] No
The Registrant anticipates a significant increase in revenues for Fiscal
1998 as compared to the prior fiscal year. However, these changes cannot be
expressed quantitatively until final financial data has been received by the
Registrant. The Registrant is unable to determine whether there will be any
other significant changes in its results of operations until the audit is
completed.
