following should be completed. (Check appropriate box)
(a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this

(b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report
on Form 10-KSB, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed period.
The Registrant is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The Registrant has recently relocated its
accounting department from Scotts Valley, California to Kansas City, Kansas.
This location required a substantial restaffing of the accounting department
which has not permitted the Registrant timely to complete its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-QSB without unreasonable effort or expense.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be

If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
