RIDER III
Registrant's financial statements are not able to be completed on or before the
date on which Registrant's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996
is required to be filed as a result of recent events, including (i) the final
implementation of new financial software and (ii) changes in financial
management. Registrant is currently in the process of competing its financial
statements and its independent accountants have been engaged to perform the
audit for the year ended June 30, 1996. Registrant believes at this time that
its audit for the aforementioned fiscal year will be completed, and its Form
10-KSB will be filed, within the grace period provided for under Rule 12b-25.
RIDER IV
Registrant's earnings statements reflected in its 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995 reflected a net loss of $827,155. Registrant anticipates
that its earnings statements to be included in its Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1996 will reflect net income in excess of $500,000.
