PART III -- NARRATIVE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 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.
(Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)
Arch Leasing Corporation Trust failed to make principal payments due May and
June 1998 due to certain circumstances. Arch Leasing Corporation Trust and the
trustee Magna Trust have a court date set for July 9, 1998 to decide if the
Trust will liquidate and pay all bond debt possible with the proceeds, or
remain as is and pay the bondholders pro rata as cash is available. Due to
these circumstances, the future of the Trust is unknown. Currently a
liquidation is possible, and therefore an extension is being applied for so
that the outcome of the court date July 9, 1998 will be known. The fair
market value and/or liquidation value of certain assets may be more easily
determined once decisions are made after the court date of 7/9/98.

notification

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or section 30 of the Investment Company
Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is
no, identify report(s).
[X] Yes [ ] No
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
[X] Yes [ ] No
If so; attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and
quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.
An adjustment may need to be made to adjust certain assets to fair market value
and/or liquidation value (see (2) above). The dollar amount of this adjustment
is currently unknown. This estimate will be more easily determined once bids
are received for the potential liquidation.
