PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (ATACH EXTRA SHEETS IF NEEDED)
The registrant is unable to timely file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
July 31, 1998 because of the fact that it appointed new certifying accountants
on September 11, 1998 and, as indicated in the Exhibit hereto, those accountants
have not had sufficient time to both familiarize themselves with the finances of
the registrant and complete their audit and the report of the accountants with
respect to such financial statements, on a timely basis. Since the audited
financial statements are the heart of the Form 10-K, no portion of the required
report can now be filed.
The registrant hereby represents that the reasons given above for the inability
to file timely could not be eliminated by the registrant without unreasonable
effort or expense. The Registrant is currently making every effort to file its
Form 10-K within the extended due date. The accountant's statement required by
Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached.

[ ]Yes [X ] No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
