PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB could
not be filed within the prescribed period:
During the last two fiscal quarters, Response USA, Inc. (the
"Company") has undergone significant changes in its management and ownership
structure including the resignation of its President and Chief Executive
Officer, Richard M. Brooks, the election of Andrew Queen and Jeffrey Queen as
its new President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, in conjunction
with their receipt of a significant amount of Common Stock of the Company,
and the election of four new Board members. During this period, management's
efforts have been substantially devoted to facilitating this transition and
integrating the new staff. As a result, management has had insufficient time
to complete the Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2000.
