       (b)  The subject annual report,  semi-annual report, transition report on
            Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof,
[X]         will be filed on or before the fifteenth  calendar day following the

PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,

the prescribed time period.

         The preparation of the issuer's  quarterly  report has been delayed due

         is required to finish preparing the quarterly report.

    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.
