PART III - NARRATIVE

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

The registrant  must resolve one accounting  issue related to its acquisition of
Arvilla,  Inc. prior to completing its financial statements that will be part of
the Form 10-QSB report. Management does not believe that resolution of the issue
will have a material impact on the company's business or financial condition and
it is anticipated that the report will be filed within the prescribed  extension
period.
