PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why the Form 10-K, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed);

 
Definitive agreements reflecting the restructuring of the Company's $6,000,000
face amount 10% 13% Convertible Notes and Warrants have been drafted and are
being finalized at April 15, 1998. The principal terms of the restructuring
include: (1) waiving of the Company's violations of the financial covenants at
December 31, 1997 (as well as certain other breaches of the agreement), (2)
eliminating the financial covenants through April 16 1999, (3) securing the
obligation with a pledge of all of the assets of the Company (excluding the
assets of Drew Shoe which are already pledged to a bank), including the stock of
the Company's subsidiaries, (4) accelerating the maturity date for the
obligation from September 19, 2002 to April 16, 1999, (5) cancellation of Class
DD warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of the Company, (6)
issuance to the holders a total of 10% of the common shares of the Company's
subsidiaries Drew Shoe Corporation and BCAM Technologies, Inc., The Company
expects to take a significant charge to operations in 1998 in connection with
the restructuring of the debt. The definitive documents governing the
restructuring are expected to be complete before the end of April 16, 1998.

Additionally, beginning on April 14, 1998, the Company commenced a private
offering of its common stock and warrants. The offering contemplates aggregate
proceeds of $2,000,000 for the purchase of 1,980,198 shares of common stock of
the Company and warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at $2.05 for
three years by seven accredited investors. The Company has agreed to register
such shares and has agreed to penalties of 3% per month should the registration
statement not be declared effective a specific period.

The number of shares issuable to these investors will be "repriced" pursuant to
a schedule initially in $300,000 increments (4) and then in $200,000 increments
(4) on eight occasions commencing with the effectiveness of a registration
statement covering the shares and again 60 days later and them in 30 day
intervals. On such dates, the investor would receive the additional number of
shares, if any, that result from the difference between the number of shares
actually issued and the number of shares which would have been issued using a
23% discount to the market price, as defined, at that time. The operation of
this provision could result in significantly greater number of shares being
issued. The investors have agreed not to sell any shares before at least 120
days after the closing, The Company is exposed to significant penalties for
failure to have a registration statement declared effective covering such shares
within specified days, has agreed not to issue certain financings and has agreed
to pay a placement agent a 6.5% fee in connection with the transaction. The
Company is obliged to register the shares and shares underlying the warrants
under agreements which contain very substantial penalties for delays or failure
to register.


The Company needs additional time to reflect these matters in its financial
statements and the Company's auditors, Ernst & Young, LLP, require additional
time in order to complete their audit of this material subsequent event.

The Company expects that these matters and the related auditors work will be
completed and the Form 10-KSB will be filed by middle of the week of April 20,
1998.
