PART III
NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed within
the prescribed time period (attach extra sheets if needed).
The Company was unable to prepare and assemble the documentation necessary for
filing the report on Form 10-Q in the prescribed time period because the Company
was in the process of emerging from reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
United States Code. In connection with such reorganization, the Company
reincorporated in the State of Delaware, initiated a merger and reverse stock
split, and closed a $3.0 million private placement transaction. A report on Form
8-K was filed on July 31, 2001 announcing the details of these transactions. In
addition, the Company has experienced significant personnel turnover within the
accounting and finance departments. Notably, our Chief Financial Officer, Senior
Accountant, and Cost Accountant, resigned during the period from May to August
2001.
The facts presented above have consumed a significant portion of management's
time and efforts, and have resulted in the Company's inability to timely file
its Form 10-Q. The Company is currently in the process of completing the
relevant portions of its Form 10-Q and believes that its Form 10-Q will be filed
within the five-calendar day grace period provided under Rule 12b-25.
