NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form
10-KSB, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form 10-Q and Form 10-QSB, Form N-SAR or the
transition report portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time
period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The Registrant has recently and until immediately prior to the filing
date hereof been engaged in negotiating and, in certain cases, consummating
various acquisitions and dispositions. The nature of such activities, critical
to the Registrant's business operations, precluded a complete and accurate
filing of the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB without disclosure
thereof and the proximity of such activities to the filing date and the
significant time demands placed by such activities on the Registrant's
management team who are responsible for preparing such report precluded timely
filing thereof with

without unreasonable effort and expense, to file its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2000 within the prescribed period.
