If  the  subject  report could not be filed without  unreasonable
effort  or  expense and the registrant seeks relief  pursuant  to

  X        (a)  The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part

                            PART III
                            NARRATIVE
______________________________________________________________________________

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F,
11-K,  10-Q,  N-SAR, or the transition report or portion  thereof
could  not  be filed within the prescribed period. (Attach  extra
sheets if necessary.)

          The Registrant was unable to file its Form 10-Q for the
     three  months  ended  June 30, 2000  within  the  prescribed
     period without unreasonable effort or expense as a result of
     technical  and other challenges and logistics involving  the
     finalization of the Form for filing.  The Form was filed via
     EDGAR after 5:30 p.m., but before 10:00 p.m., on August  14,
     2000.   Accordingly,  the  Form currently  has  an  official
     filing  date  of August 15, 2000.  The Registrant  currently
     also intends to seek an adjustment to the filing date of the
     Form  pursuant to Rule 13(b) of Regulation S-T; however,  no
     assurance can be given that such adjustment will be given.
