and clarify the Registrant's current timing expectations for the completion of
the Registrant's filings.

on the Registrant's foreign operations, the Registrant currently believes that
it will be able to file its Form 10-KSB on or before June 30, 1999.
In addition, on May 10, 1999, the Registrant filed a Form 12b-25 with
respect to the untimely filing of its Form 10-QSB for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and stated therein that it expected to be able to file said 10-
QSB within fifteen days following the filing of its Form 10-KSB. Based on
discussions with the accountants regarding the status of the audit, the
Registrant currently believes that it will be able to file its Form 10-QSB for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 on or before July 31, 1999.
Finally, the Registrant anticipates that it will file a Form 12b-25 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to August 15, 1999 with
respect to the expected untimely filing of its Form 10-QSB for the three months
