PART III -- NARRATIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K and Form 10-KSB,
20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, or filing made by a money market fund pursuant to Rule 30b3-1
and Form 10-QSB, N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be
filed within the prescribed period.
The Company has been working diligently to complete its Form 10-K, including
its Annual Report to Shareholders to be incorporated by reference in Form
10-K. The Company recently agreed as a result of a regulatory examination to
make additional provisions to it allowance for loan losses, and delays in
completing its From 10-K are attributable to time required to reconcile those
provisions throughout its management discussion and analysis and related
disclosures. Delays in communications with its printer have also prevented
the Company making a timely filing. The Company's actual results of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 were made publicly available
in its press release dated March 13, 1998. As reported in its original Form
12b-25, the Company believed it would be able to file From 10-K by April 1,
1998, but it was unable to do so.
