(2)     Have  all  other  periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of
the  Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
of  1940  during  the  preceding  12 months (or for such shorter period that the
registrant  was  required  to  file  such reports) been filed?  If answer is no,
identify  report(s).      X   Yes ___  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 or portion thereof?
                                                 X  Yes     ___ No


(3)  Due to the change in fiscal year end from August 31, to December 31, the
Company's reports for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 are compared to the
three months ended August 31, 2001.

Revenues were $15.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, as
compared to $27 million for the 2001 period.  For the third quarter of 2002, the
Company reported a net loss of $8.9 million, or $1.42 per share, as compared to
a profit in the 2001 period of $1.922 million or $.55 per share.

The decline in revenues and the resulting net losses for the 2002 period is
related to the restructuring of the Company's operations,  a shortage
of inventory, the general decline in travel and tourism consumer and the
initiating of its new travel and leisure service operations.
