ITEM 5. Other Events
------------
On March 29, 1999, the Registrant filed a Form 12b-25 with respect to its
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998 pursuant to which the
Registrant stated that, due to the difficulties experienced in connection
with engaging a new independent accountant, it would not be able to timely
file its Form 10-KSB on March 31, 1999.
Based on the accountant's late start and the complexity involved with
auditing the Registrant's operations in the U.S., the Czech Republic and Spain,
the Registrant currently believes that it will be able to file its Form 10-KSB
on or before June 1, 1999. In addition, the Registrant currently believes that
it will be unable to timely file its Form 10-QSB for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 for the same reasons. The Registrant intends to file a Form
12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or prior to May 15, 1999
with respect to the said Form 10-QSB. The Registrant currently expects to be
able to file its Form 10-QSB for the three months ended March 31, 1999 within
fifteen days after the filing of its Form 10-KSB.
