                              PART III - NARRATIVE

IMSI signed an agreement on August 31, 2001 to merge with Digital Creative
Development Corporation (DCDC) a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq OTC
Bulletin Board (Nasdaq OTC/BB:DCDC). Due to the timing of this event, and the
related due diligence work by both companies, the company requires additional
time to complete the information required to be included in its Form 10-K for
the year ended June 30, 2001. IMSI believes that it will file the Form 10-K
within the time period allowed by this extension.


                           PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION

        If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively

estimate of the results cannot be made.
