State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why Form 10-K,  20-F,  11-K, 10-Q,

Due to change in  mangement  of the  Company on January 1, 1997,  as reported on

and major  shareholder)  of the Company on January 7, 1997,  as reported in Form

Part IV - Other Information

(1)  Name  and  telephone  number  of  person  to  contact  in  regard  to  this
    notification

       Frederick G. Beisser             303                    688-6070
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           (Name)                   (Area Code)           (Telephone Number)

(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 the 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

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated  change,  both  narratively
and  quantitatively,  and if  appropriate,  state the reasons  why a  reasonable
estimate of the results cannot be made.


          Review by new management  team reveals  initial  indications
          that first  quarter  will result in  comparable  revenue but
          with a net operating  loss versus net income of $124,561 for
          the same  period of the prior  year.  The  amount is not yet
          finalized and cannot be presently  estimated so as to be not
          misleading.
