AUDITORS' STATEMENT
We are unable to complete the audited financial statements
of The J. Rish Group by March 31, 2000 due to the lack of
information regarding the costs reports. We have not
obtained all of the necessary information to support the
numbers in the financial statements and will need additional
time to accumulate that information.
