Part III - Narrative

The  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year ended April 30,
1998 (Form 10-K) could not be filed  within the  prescribed  period  because the
financial  statements  for the fiscal  year ended April 30,  1998  required  for
inclusion  in Form  10-K  have not  been  reviewed  by  management.  Because  of
scheduling  difficulties,  executives of the Company responsible for such review
have not been  able to  review  such  statements  with the  Company's  auditors.
Accordingly,  the  Company  will  require  additional  time  for  management  to
discharge its responsibility with regard to reviewing the Form 10-K.

                                                         [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





The  results of  operations  for the fiscal  year ended April 30, 1998 will vary
significantly from the corresponding period for the previous fiscal year because
of the following:

1)   Revenues  of  approximately  $460,000  and  related  cost of goods sold and
     advertising and promotion costs aggregating  approximately  $590,000 during
     the  fiscal  year  ended  April 30,  1997 were all  reduced to zero for the
     fiscal year ended April 30, 1998.

2)   General and administrative expenses less management fees were approximately
     $200,000  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  April 30,  1997  as  compared   to
     approximately  $1,300,000  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  April  30,  1998.
     This  increase  resulted  principally from a decline in  management fees of
     approximately $760,000.

3)   The gain on sale of Datatec  common  stock for the fiscal year ended April
     30, 1998 was approximately  $1,300,000 as compared with $2,300,000 for the
     fiscal year ended April 30, 1997.

4)   The  write  off of  investment in, and  advances to,  Evolutions, Inc.  was
     approximately $1,900,000 for the fiscal  year ended  April 30, 1997 and was
     zero for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1998.

5)   The  deferred income tax  expense of approximately $800,000 for the fiscal
     year ended April 30, 1997 was reduced to zero for the  fiscal  year  ended
     April 30, 1998.
