PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-KSB or portion
thereof could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The time required by the Registrant's independent accounting firm to complete
their audit of the Registrant's financial statements, together with the time
required thereafter for officers and directors to fully and properly review and
approve the Form 10-KSB (the "Report") will prevent the Registrant from filing
the Report by December 29, 1997, without unreasonable effort and expense, due in
part to the time that was required to prepare historical financial statements
relating to the Registrant's recent acquisition of the assets of Cotton Stuff,
Inc., which financial statements were filed in Registrant's Form 8-K/A dated
December 1, 1997.
