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.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 (the "1995 Fiscal
Year") of the Barefoot Grass Lawn Service, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the
"Plan"), Barefoot Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")
agreed with Bank One Trust Company N.A., the Trustee of the Plan, to give
participants in the Plan the option to direct the investment of their personal
contributions and their respective share of the Company's contribution among
alternative investment funds established as part of the overall fund
administered by the Trustee under the Plan. Prior thereto, the contributions
made under the Plan were invested under the direction of the Trustee. Due to
the change in the manner in which investment alternatives are selected under
the Plan and the reconciliation of accounts required as a result thereof, the
Company is not in a position to file the Annual Report on Form 11-K for the
1995 Fiscal Year (the "1995 Form 11-K") on behalf of the Plan within the
prescribed time period. The 1995 Form 11-K will be filed on or before the
fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date.

answer is no, identify report(s). _X_ Yes No
