PART III - NARRATIVE

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).
The Registrant is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended May 31, 1996 due to unresolved accounting issues concerning the
classification of an operating lease relating to the Registrant's crumb rubber
recovery equipment and the inclusion of an explanatory paragraph in the report
of the independent auditors regarding the Registrant's ability to continue as a
going concern. These accounting issues could not be resolved without
unreasonable effort or expense in order to file the Form 10-KSB within the
prescribed time period. The Registrant's independent accounting firm, Wolf &
Company, P.C., is working closely with management of the Registrant to reslove
these issues and complete the audit. The Registrant expects to file its Form
10-KSB Annual Report on or before September 13, 1996.
