The Company has recently restructured its Board of Directors in order to
accommodate more independent directors. As a consequence, a majority of the
Board is now comprised of newly appointed Directors. The audit was not received
in time to be able to circulate it among the directors. The directors are
currently completing the process of reviewing the Company's year-end condition
and financial statements. Thus, the Company is requesting this extension.
