PART III -- NARRATIVE
The registrant is a small business filer which effective March 21, 1997,
accepted the resignation of its prior Certifying Accountant, Arthur
Andersen LLP, and effective March 22, 1997, retained as its new Certifying
Accountant, J. Paul Kenote Certified Public Accountant, P.C., to audit and
report on registrant's financial statements for the year ended December 31,
1996. This event was reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 8-K filed by the registrant on March 27, 1997.
Due to the timing of this change the new Certifying Accountant does not
have sufficient time to complete the audit of the registrant's December 31,
1996 financial statement in order that registrant can gather the necessary
information to complete and file the Form 10-KSB on March 31, 1997, without
undue financial hardship and effort. The registrant intends to complete and
file the Form 10-KSB no later than the April 15, 1997, the extension date.
