                             PART III--NARRATIVE

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

                     STATE REASON FOR REQUEST TO FILE LATE

The Registrant hereby represents that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2002 without unreasonable effort or
expense. The Company's auditors need additional time to complete their review of
certain schedules to the Company's financial statements. The Registrant further
represents that the Form 10-Q will be filed no later than May 20, 2002, which is
the 5th day following the date on which the Form 10-Q was due.
