     (b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on
          Form 10-K, 10-KSB, 20-F or Form N-SAR, or portion thereof will be

                                    NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 10-KSB, 11-K, 20-F,
10-Q, 10-QSB, N-SAR or the transition report portion thereof could not be filed
within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

         The Company needs additional time to prepare its financial statements
and complete its audit committee review in accordance with Securities & Exchange
Commission requirements

                                     PART IV

                  --------------------------------------------------------------

     (2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15d of
          the Securities Exchange Act off 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment
          Company Act of 1940 during he preceding twelve months or for such
          shorter period that the Registrant was required to file such report(s)
          been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). [X] Yes [ ] No






     (3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
          from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
          reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
          report or portion thereof?

                                                               [X] Yes  [] No

          If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
          narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
          why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.


         The financial statements for the Nine Months include the operations of
the Company's recently acquired business, effective February 20, 2003, as
discussed in our filings on Form 8-K and subsequently, as amended. The operating
loss of $3,477,447 is much greater than for comparable periods because it
includes contract termination costs and other significant expenditures incurred
in finalizing the acquisition.
