State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
Despite its best efforts, the Company is unable to complete its
Form 10-KSB by its required due date of March 31, 1997 in time to allow
for sufficient review by the Company's management and its independent
auditors without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company hired a new
Chief Financial Officer in February, 1997. Because of the recent
appointment and the new CFO's need to become familiar with the Company's
financial records, there have been delays in gathering and evaluating
data for the Company's Form 10-KSB.

Exhibit A
The Company's Statement of Operations to be included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB to be filed by the Company for fiscal year ended December 31, 1996
(fiscal 1996) will reflect lower earnings than for fiscal 1995. The lower
earnings were primarily the result of higher expenses and start up costs from
overseas and videoconferencing operations.
