PART III -- NARRATIVE

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

The registrant's Quarterly Report (Form 10-QSB) could not be filed timely without unreasonable effort or expense due to the investigation by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors referenced in Form 8-K filed on July 25, 2005 which has delayed the filing of the Quarterly Report for June 30, 2005 (Form 10-QSB).  The company believes it will file such Quarterly Report no later than August 19, 2005.
