**Successors, Inc. (the "Registrant") is requesting an extension for filing its
Form 10-Q for the fiscal nine months ended November 2, 1996. The computer
system within the Company was inoperable for a significant time period and this
has curtailed the Registrant's ability to timely complete the required
financial data prior to the filing date.
