The Registrant is unable at this time to estimate its financial  results for its
fiscal  quarter  ended April 30, 1999 due to is inability  to prepare  financial
statements  for the  quarter  ended  April 30,  1999.  The  quarterly  financial
statements could not be prepared because the audit of the registrant's financial
statements  for the  fiscal  year  ended  January  31,  1999  has  not yet  been
completed.
