                                    Narrative

         State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,

prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

         The Company has not had an opportunity to gather all of the information
required  in the Form  10-Q.  As such,  the  Company  respectfully  requests  an
extension for up to five (5) calendar days to prepare and finalize the Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended December 31, 2000.

                                     PART IV

                                Other Information

         1.  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
             notification:
                  Frank Cruz                (305)                825-2458
                  --------------------------------------------------------------
                  (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
Registrant 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 Company anticipates reporting a decrease in total net sales of $7.8
million,  or 22.6%, from $34.5 million in the three-month  period ended December
31, 1999 to $26.7 million in the  comparable  period in 2000.  This decrease was
attributable  primarily to a  strengthening  of the U.S.  dollar relative to the
British  pound  sterling  and  higher  sales in the prior  year due to Year 2000
concerns.
