PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 10-KSB, 20-F, 11-K,
10-Q, N-SAR or the transition  report or portion thereof,  could not be filed in
the prescribed time period.

The Company's independent  auditors,  Richey, May & Co., LLP, have not been able
to complete their review of the Form 10-QSB Report pursuant to the standards set
forth by the Public Company  Accounting  Oversight Board. Only with unreasonable
effort or expense could  Richey,  May & Co., LLP have  completed  this review in
time for the Company to timely file its Form 10-QSB Report.  The Company expects
that the Form 10-QSB Report will be filed by August 21, 2006.

      the  registrant  was required to file such  report(s)  been filed?  If the
      answer is no, identify report(s). Yes |X| 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 of portion
      thereof?                          Yes |_| No |X|
