PART III - NARRATIVE

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

The Registrant was not able to file the subject Annual Report on Form 10-KSB within the prescribed filing period without unreasonable effort or expense as the result of the expiration of its EDGAR password of which it was unaware until notified by the EDGAR system upon submission of its test filing. Although originally transmitted within the prescribed time, the substitute password could not be obtained and the filing resubmitted within the time allotted. The Annual Report that is subject hereof has been filed within the time allowed by the extension as evidenced by the receipt of acknowledgement of filing of the Report at approximately 5:46 p.m. as of March 31, 2005. A request for modification of the filing date has been submitted to the Office of EDGAR and Information Analysis.
