U.S.C. 77d(6).

When To File:  A notice must be riled no later than 15 days after the first sale
of securities in the offering. A notice is deemed filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange  Commission  (SEC) on the earlier of the date it is received by the
SEC at the address given below or, if received at that address after the date on
which it is due,  on the date it was  mailed  by  United  States  registered  or
certified mail to that address.

Where to File: U.S. Securities and Exchange  Commission.  450 Fifth Street. N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20549

of which  must be  manually  signed.  Any  copies not  manually  signed  must be
photocopies of the manually signed copy or bear typed or printed signatures.

Information  Required.  A new riling  must  contain all  information  requested.
Amendments  need only  report the name of the issuer and  offering.  any changes
thereto. The information  requested in Part C. and any material changes from the
information  previously  supplied in Parts A and 3. Part E and the Appendix need
not be riled with the SEC.

Filing Fee: There is no federal filing fee.

State:

This notice shall be used to indicate  reliance on the Uniform Limited  Offering
Exemption  (ULOE) for sales of securities in those states that have adopted ULOE
and that have  adopted this form.  Issuers  relying on ULOE must rile a separate
notice with the Securities Administrator in each state where sales are to be, or
have been made. If a state  requires the payment of a fee as a  precondition  to
the claim for the  exemption,  a fee in the proper amount shall  accompany  this
form.  This notice shall be riled in the  appropriate  states in accordance with
state law. The Appendix to the notice constitutes a part of this notice and must
be completed.

                                    ATTENTION

Failure to file notice in the  appropriate  states will not 'result in a loss of
the  federal  exemption.  Conversely,  failure to file the  appropriate  federal
notice will not result in a loss of an  available  state  exemption  unless such
exemption is predicated on the filing of a federal notice.
