Part III- Narrative
Stated below is the reason why Form 10-Q could not be filed within the
prescribed period:
In late August, the Registrant's Controller, the key member of the
Registrant's limited accounting staff, suffered a 100% blockage in one
of the two main arteries leading to her brain. This caused her to be
hospitalized and absent from work. Her absence significantly delayed
preparation of the Registrant's financial statements, and delayed the
preparation of data needed by the Registrant's auditors for completion
of the audit. This delay could not be eliminated without unreasonable
effort or expense.
