Part III - Narrative

The Company's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal  quarter ended July
31, 1998 (Form 10-Q) could not be filed within the prescribed period because the
financial  statements required for inclusion in Form 10-Q have not been reviewed
by  management.  Because of scheduling  difficulties,  executives of the Company
responsible  for such  review  have not been  able to  review  such  statements.
Accordingly,  the  Company  will  require  additional  time  for  management  to
discharge its responsibility with regard to reviewing the Form 10-Q.

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from

     thereof.
                                                         [x] Yes       [ ] No





The results of operations  for the fiscal  quarter ended July 31, 1998 will vary
significantly from the corresponding period for the previous fiscal year because
of the following:


1)   The gain on sale of  Datatec common stock for the fiscal quarter ended July
     31, 1998  was  approximately   $813,200  as  compared  with   approximately
     $1,522,600 for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 1997.
