State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
We are working with the Registrant's auditors to complete fiscal year 2000
financial statements, which have been delayed due to the time and effort
required to effect compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
Advisory Bulletin No. 101. In addition, the Company's change in auditing firms
during fiscal year 2000 necessitates review and sign-off by both the Company's
current and former auditing firms. As a result, management needs the additional
period of fifteen days to finalize such financial statements and allow
sufficient time to file itsForm 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2000.
