State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.

On April 7, 1997, the Registrant completed the sale of its assets related to
its business of manufacturing and distributing Iodine-123 capsules for a total
purchase price of $6,700,000.  In addition, the Company moved its accounting
department from Colorado to California and replaced its entire accounting
department.  As a result the Registrant is unable to timely complete the
information required for the presentation of its Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB for the quarter ended November 30, 1997.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

  3.     The Registrant believes that due to the sale of the assets in April
         1997 and a decrease in sales in Pharma Labs and Quality Care
         Pharmaceuticals, Inc., there will be a significant change in the
         results of operations from the same period during the last fiscal
         year, however, a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made at
         this time.
