                                    NARRATIVE

the prescribed time period.

     The Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended January 31, 2000 within the prescribed  time period because the audit
of its financial statements has not been completed.

                                     Part IV

earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
