                              PART III - NARRATIVE

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

               The Company requires additional as time to complete the filing of
               its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended January 31,
               2004 as a result of the Company's Chief Financial Officer (the
               person directly responsible for the preparation of the financial
               statements and the 10-K) had two immediate family members pass
               away during a two week period in April 2004. As a result, the
               Company's normal procedures for preparing the 10-K were delayed
               by several weeks, and the company was unable to finalize the 10-K
               by the prescribed due date.
