PART III - NARRATIVE

     The Company is timely filing the Report on Form 10-QSB referred to herein
(the "Form 10-Q"); however, Part I, Item 2 of the Form 10-Q does not contain a
full description of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 11, 1997
(the "Purchase Agreement"), and amendment thereto, dated as of December 11, 1997
(the "Amendment"). The Company was unable to provide a full description of such
agreements, because the Company and Morgan Kent Group, Inc. expect to execute
the Purchase Agreement and the Amendment during the week of December 15, 1997.
The Company plans to amend the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable to provide a
full description of such agreements and to include a copy of each of the
Purchase Agreement and the Amendment as exhibits to the amended Form 10-Q.

PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

      The change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the
last fiscal year is discussed in the timely filed Form 10-Q.
