Part III - Narrative
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in  reasonable  detail the  reasons  why Form 10-K and Form  10-KSB,
20-F,  11-K, 10-Q and Form 10-QSB,  N-SAR,  or the transition  report or portion
thereof  could not be filed  within  the  prescribed  period.  During  the first
quarter of 1998, the Registrant's senior management has focused on repositioning
the Registrant and its product line. These efforts included the negotiation of a
joint  venture  with  Snell & Wilcox,  negotiation  and  consummation  of a loan
agreement with a new bank to replace its prior banking relationship, new product
development and other strategic initiatives. As a result of these endeavors, the
senior  management  has been unable to complete the  Registrant's  Annual Report
without unreasonable effort and expense.
