PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR,
or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the
prescribed time period.
The file server component of Registrant's computer system failed on Monday,
January 12, 1998. A substantial portion of the past 10 days' of work on the
second quarter (November 30, 1997) 10- Q financial data was saved on hard copy,
but the computer tape backup system was not operative at server failure time.
The computer system should be operative on Wednesday, January 14, 1997 and the
Form 10-Q Report should be filed (in its entirety) on Friday, January 16, 1997.
None of the Form 10-Q items should be filed without the financial data; the
financial data cannot be finalized until the computer system is operative.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this
notification.
