ITEM 8.  CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S FISCAL YEAR

       On February 4, 2002, the Registrant's Board of Directors determined to
change the fiscal year of the Registrant from March 31 to December 31.  The
change was to make the Registrant's fiscal year consistent with the historical
fiscal year of New Century Remanufacturing Inc., the operating company acquired
by Registrant pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of May 25,
2001.  No transition report will be filed as the Registrant filed the required
financial statements through December 31, 2000 on Registrant's Form 8-KA filed
on August 24, 2001 and Registrant has filed quarterly reports through the
quarter ended September 30, 2001.  Accordingly, Registrant will file an Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
