PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 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)
The principal cause of our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the period ended August 31, 1999 is that the person ultimately
responsible for preparing the report and related financial statements has also
been responsible for undertaking all steps necessary to complete the
Registrant's acquisition on August 13, 1999 of the Allied Composition/Por-Rok
businesses from The Sherwin-Williams Company, including the integration of that
business into the Registrant's existing operations and accounting system. In
addition, the resignation of the Registrant's bookkeeper on September 3, 1999,
prior to training any successor, made the integration of the acquisition as well
as the preparation of the Quarterly Report even more difficult. Effective
October 12, 1999, the Registrant has hired a new chief financial officer whose
immediate responsibility is to compile the financial information necessary for
the final preparation of the Quarterly Report. For the foregoing reasons,
additional time is required to compile such financial information and we will be
unable to complete the preparation of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in time
for the October 15 deadline without unreasonable effort or expense.
