If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense

 [X]     (a)   The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this
               form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or
               expense;

 [X]     (b)   The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report

                              PART III - NARRATIVE

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

     Due to uncertainty and logistics issues caused by recent tragic world
     events, the Company was unable to file its Form 10-Q by the prescribed due
     date without unreasonable effort or expense. Among other reasons, the
     Company was required to cancel and reschedule Audit Committee and Board
     meetings, originally scheduled to be held September 11 and 12, 2001, to
     review and approve the Company's financial statements and disclosure
     included in the Form 10-Q, which cannot be completed absent such review and
     approval.
