PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q
or N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.
On Thursday, March 30, 2000, our filing agent, Bowne of Chicago, experienced
technical difficulties attempting to timely file our Form 10-KSB. Bowne made
several attempts to file our 10-KSB using EDGARLink prior to 5:15 p.m. Eastern
time. The operator received several disconnects while the filing was being
transmitted. They also received errors indicating EDGARLink had been
unsuccessful in connecting with either the primary or the secondary phone
number.
The filing was finally successfully completed at 5:40 p.m. Eastern time, making
the subject filing late by 10 minutes.
The circumstances outlined above were beyond the control of Merge Technologies
Incorporated. Accordingly, we hereby request an adjustment of the Merge
Technologies Incorporated 10-KSB filing date from March 31 to March 30, 2000.
