       [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 on Form  10-K,  20-F,  11-K,  or Form  N-SAR,  or  portion
               thereof,  will be filed on or before the  fifteenth  calendar day
               following  the  prescribed  due date;  or the  subject  quarterly
               report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion thereof will
               be filed on or  before  the  fifth  calendar  day  following  the
               prescribed due date; and

       [       ] (c) The  accountant's  statement or other  exhibit  required by

                              PART III -- NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period.  (ATTACH EXTRA SHEETS IF NEEDED)

The  Registrant's  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 1999 could not be filed within the prescribed  time period because the
accounting  statements  could not be prepared  by the  Company  within such time
period due to the inability of the accounting  firm to complete the work,  which
work could not have been completed without unreasonable effort and expense.
