PART III - NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11- K, 10-Q,
-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the

         The registrant is making certain revisions to its financial  statements
for the year ended  December  31,  2003 and will file an amended  Form 10-KSB to
reflect the revisions.  This has delayed completion of the financial  statements
for the three  month  period  ended March 31,  2004 and the  registrant  will be
unable to finalized its report on Form 10-QSB by the scheduled  filing date. The
registrant  anticipates  that it will  file the  report  within  the  prescribed
extension period.
