NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 11-K, 20-F, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within
the prescribed time period. (Attach extra sheets if needed.)
The Registrant is unable to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2003, within the prescribed period without
unreasonable effort or expense because of delays in obtaining information from
certain parties that is expected to have an impact on the financial statements
and because of the additional time needed for the Registrant's new Chief
Financial Officer to ascertain the accuracy and completeness of the information
to be included in the Form 10-Q. The Registrant believes that it will be able to
file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within the extended time period.
