     The Registrant is waiting to receive from its lender a waiver of certain
defaults and violations in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 of financial
covenants made by the Registrant to the lender. The Registrant's financial
statements and disclosures for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 are
materially affected by whether or not the Company receives a waiver from its
lender.

                           Part IV. Other Information

     (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification

Ryan Schooler                    (512)                       312-0555

   (Name)                     (Area code)               (Telephone number)

     (2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no,
identify report(s).

                                                                  |X| Yes |_| No

     (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

                                                                  |X| Yes |_| No

     If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.

     The Registrant expects that its net sales were $1,028,000 higher during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 than during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.
The Registrant also expects a loss of $608,000 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2001 compared to a loss of $824,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000.
The decrease in the Registrant's net loss was primarily due to the increase in
net sales described above.
