PART III - NARRATIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q and 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof,
could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
The Company is unable to file its Form 10-KSB in accordance with the
due date for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997 due to a lack of personnel
resources required for the task. The former chief financial and accounting
officer, Michael J. Brisnehan, resigned in November 1996. Mr. Brisnehan
continued in a consulting role and assisted with closing the books and preparing
the 10-QSB through the third quarter ending March, 1997. The Company has
continued to operate with minimal staff for some time due to its financial
difficulty. Following the appointment of a new CEO in August 1997, a new chief
financial and accounting officer, Robert E. Robichaud, joined the Company on
September 5, 1997. As of September 20, 1997, Price Waterhouse has been retained
as the Company's independent accountants and work on the audit and preparation
of the 10-KSB is now underway.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification:
Robert E. Robichaud 510 462-7249
------------------- --- --------
(Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)
(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter
period that the registrant was required to file such reports) been
filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
|X| Yes |_| No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion hereof?
|X| Yes |_| No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
Based upon preliminary draft financial results, we expect the
Company to report a net loss of approximately $600,000 for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997 as compared to a net loss of $42,000 for the
prior fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. The fiscal 97 expected net loss
is equal to the loss from continuing operations. This compares to a
prior fiscal year loss from continuing operations of $3,200,000 that
was partially offset by an extraordinary gain of $3,432,000 on
restructuring of payables and debt.
The fiscal 97 estimates are based on preliminary results and
are subject to adjustments based on our analysis and audit of the
financial statements and inclusion of any required adjusting entries in
the Company Form 10-KSB.
