PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
The registrant is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB
within the prescribed time period because the registrant is still in
the process of finalizing its financial statements for the period. The
delay is partially a result of the registrant's recent reorganization
under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The registrant's plan of
reorganization was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District of Texas on February 1, 1999.
