PART III - NARRATIVE
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
August 31, 2000 could not be filed within the prescribed time period because
there were various transactions that the Registrant negotiated and entered into
in the last quarter of such fiscal year which provided for, among other things,
change in control of the Registrant and working capital. The Registrant and its
accountants have not finalized all of their accounting matters in connection
with these transactions. As a result, the financial statements of the Registrant
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000 and the notes thereto, have not yet
been completed.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
The Registrant will be reporting significantly reduced revenues for
fiscal year 2000, with net losses approximating those of fiscal year 1999. The
fiscal year 2000 figures reflect the diversion of resources to and the negative
effects of the previously disclosed failed transactions with Premier Laser
Systems, Inc. and the transactions which the Registrant negotiated and entered
into in the last quarter of fiscal year 2000.
