PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB could not
be filed within the prescribed period:
On August 11, 1999, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
(the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Company will sell its electronic
security and patrol services subsidiaries (the "Sale"). The Sale is scheduled
to close on September 30, 1999. Since the execution of the Agreement, the
prospective buyer has been conducting an extensive financial review of the
Company, and management's efforts have been substantially devoted to
responding to buyer's inquiries. As a result, management requires additional
time to prepare a complete and accurate Form 10-KSB.
