PART III--NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 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. The annual report of Creative Technologies
Holdings Inc. (the "Company") on Form 10-K could not be filed within the
prescribed time period because of a recent change in management of the Company
and because the Company's audited financial statements could not be reviewed
within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense.
Further, on January 27, 2001, Barry L. Friedman, 1582 Tulita Drive, Las Vegas,
Nevada 89127, the principal accountant which had previously been engaged to
audit Registrant's financial statements, died. Josefina C. de la Cruz, CPA, 2700
North Main Street, Suite 900, Santa Ana, CA 92705 has been engaged to audit
Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
Josefina C. de la Cruz had been the independent auditor for Creative Technology
& Interactive Entertainment Group, Inc. prior to the closing which occurred on
October 31, 2000. The Company has not solicited and obtained the necessary
review of the Form 10-K and signature thereto by a majority of its board of
directors in a timely fashion prior to the due date of the report. The Company
anticipates that its report on Form 10-K will be filed on or before the
fifteenth calendar day following its prescribed due date.
