PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why the 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. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed.)
The principal cause of our failure to timely file our Quarterly Report on Form
10-QSB for the period ended February 28, 2002 is that the company's president,
responsible for preparing the report and related financial statements has also
been responsible for undertaking all steps necessary to undertake the proposed
sale/leaseback of the company's real estate and to further locate and negotiate
permanent financing to replace bank financing which was called on February 28,
2002 as well as a short-term bridge loan. In addition, the president and his
wife, who is responsible for maintaining the company's financial records, have
had to devote substantial time to the serious illness of their child which has
further delayed the preparation of these statements. As a result of these
disruptions, additional time is required to compile and present the unaudited
financials statements to the Registrant's auditors and we will be unable to
complete the preparation of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB in time for the
April 15, 2002 deadline without unreasonable effort or expense.
