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.)
On September 9, 1996, the registrant terminated the services of the attorney
formerly responsible for preparing the registrant's Form 10-KSB and other
periodic SEC reports. The registrant engaged new legal counsel concurrently with
the above termination. The new legal counsel has not represented the registrant
on any matters in the past. The registrant believes that it would be difficult
if not impossible for its new legal counsel to prepare and file the registrant's
Form 10-KSB on or before September 30, 1996.

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be

narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
