                                   NARRATIVE

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

The Company needs additional time to complete the closing for the quarter ended

10-QSB within the prescribed time for this extension.


                                    PART IV
                               OTHER INFORMATION

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       (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 report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
     identify report(s). |_| Yes |X| No

The Registrant's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997 was filed
April 21, 1998, approximately five business days beyond the extended deadline
of April 15, 1998, due to a significant restructuring and financing transaction.

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operation for 
     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? |_| 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.

It is anticipated that there will be a significant change in results of
operations from the corresponding period of the prior year. Such changes will
include charges for financing costs associated with the acquisition of Drew Shoe
Corporation in September 1997, for the decision to discontinue the HumanCAD
division during late February 1998 and for the difference in value between the
grant date and the date of shareholder approval in February 1998 of certain
stock options. Each of these items is discussed in greater detail in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.
