PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-KSB, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed
within the prescribed time period.
The subject Form 10-KSB cannot be timely filed without unreasonable effort or
expense because the Company's Chief Financial Officer became seriously ill
during the week prior to the due date and, with the significant reduction in
staff since the sale of the Company's Law enforcement division, there is not
adequate staff in place to complete the Form 10K-SB without the assistance of
the CFO.

(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
report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). |X| Yes
|_| No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of
operation for the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will
be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the
subject report or portion thereof? |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.
It is anticipated that there will be significant changes in the
results of operations of the Registrant from the corresponding
period for the prior fiscal year reflected by the earnings
statements to be included in the Registrant's 10-KSB. Registrant
expects a loss of approximately $872,000 for the year ended December
31, 1998. This represents a decreased loss of approximately
$728,000. This decrease is primarily due to the sale of Registrant's
Law Enforcement division in July 1998 and reductions in staff.
